Force feedback is of importance in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) as it reduces surgical risks and enhances surgical safety. However, equipping force sensing to the tip of surgical instruments presents challenges due to their diminutive dimensions and often curved shapes. To address this issue, a
This paper introduces SKiT, a fast Key information Transformer for phase recognition of videos. Unlike previous methods that rely on complex models to capture long-term temporal information, SKiT accurately recognizes high-level stages of videos using an efficient key pooling operation. This operati…
Robot-assisted guiding is gaining increased interest due to many applications involving moving in the noisy and low visibility environments. In such cases, haptic feedback is the most effective medium to communicate. In this letter, we focus on perturbation-based haptic feedback due to applications
The absence of touch of sense is a widely known drawback of robotic minimally invasive surgery (MIS). This paper proposes a design of optic soft tactile arrays which is promising to be adapted for MIS. The proposed design consists of multiple soft material channels. Each channel is designed using th…
