Towards a Minimal Architecture for a Printable, Modular, and Robust Sensing Skin

Abstract

Public reporting burden for the collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Washington Headquarters Services, Directorate for Information Operations and Reports, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 1204, Arlington VA 22202-4302. Respondents should be aware that notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall be subject to a penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if it does not display a currently valid OMB control number.

Implementation of Tactile Sensing for Palpation in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery: A Review

“…In addition, the arrayed structure of a tactile sensor allows the flexibility of the device and, therefore, the possibility of it to adapt to the environment. Good examples, proving the feasibility of this approach can be found in the works about the development of robotic skin [97]- [100], where authors present the tactile sensing structure that is able to cover large curved areas. Forward-looking, this approach can be integrated for the use in RMIS, as flexible structure can be used to cover the surface of an organ.…”
