Accommodating different display sizes is rather straightforward since […]
Designing and manufacturing haptic sensors for robotic surgery platforms
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is a modern technique that allows surgeons to perform operations through small incisions (usually 5-15 mm). Although it has numerous advantages over older surgical techniques, MIS can be more difficult to perform. Some inherent drawbacks are: limited motion due to straight laparoscopic instruments and fixation enforced by the small incision in […]
