Multi-axis stiffness sensing device for medical palpation

A. Faragasso, A. Stilli, J. Bimbo, H.A. Wurdemann, K. Althoefer

IROS 2015poster

This paper presents an innovative hand-held device able to compute stiffness when interacting with a soft object. The device is composed of four linear indenters and a USB camera. The stiffness is computed in real-time, tracking the movements of spherical features in the image of the camera. Those m…
