Shani Arusi, Max Platkov, Barak Rosenberg +7
Traditional methods for closing gastrointestinal (GI) surgery incisions, like suturing and stapling, present significant challenges, including potentially life-threatening leaks. T…
Robot-Assisted Surgical Training Over Several Days in a Virtual Surgical Environment with Divergent and Convergent Force Fields
Yousi A. Oquendo, Zonghe Chua, Margaret M. Coad +5
Surgical procedures require a high level of technical skill to ensure efficiency and patient safety. Due to the direct effect of surgeon skill on patient outcomes, the development…
Combining Time-Dependent Force Perturbations in Robot-Assisted Surgery Training
Yarden Sharon, Daniel Naftalovich, Lidor Bahar +2
Teleoperated robot-assisted minimally-invasive surgery (RAMIS) offers many advantages over open surgery. However, there are still no guidelines for training skills in RAMIS. Motor…
A Novel Grip Force Measurement Concept for Tactile Stimulation Mechanisms -- Design, Validation, and User Study
Guy Bitton, Ilana Nisky, David Zarrouk
We developed a new grip force measurement concept that allows for embedding tactile stimulation mechanisms in a gripper. This concept is based on a single force sensor to measure t…
