Applications of robotics-assist surgeries developed rapidly in worldwide biomedical research. Haptic and force feedback is one of the main challenges in current research on surgical robotics. Lack of proper haptic and force feedback in roboticassist surgeries will limit the movement and affect the doctors' judgement. Force sensors play an essential role when collecting and transporting feedback signals, and different sensors have their respective advantages and disadvantages. Based on the haptic and force feedback background related to surgical robots, this article will introduce the main features of different force sensors, including but not limited to traditional sensors like optical-based and recent-developed on-skin sensors. This article will also discuss further how the precision and stability of haptic feedback could be improved and the possible applications of new haptic and force feedback technologies in future studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
