In this webinar, FUTEK's Business Development Director Ehsan Mokhberi and Project Manager Ebenezer Ferreira discuss how sensor technology can help doctors performing robotic surgery regain a sense of touch through haptic feedback.
Advancements in robotic technology have made robotic surgery a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery. But, lack of haptic feedback has been a major limitation reported by robot-assisted surgeons. Recent innovations in force sensor development can solve this problem. Micro-miniature sized and hermetically sealed sensors can be placed at the instrument's tip, allowing point of surgery haptic feedback to the surgeon.
Learn more about:
• Technical and economic considerations of designing and implementing haptic feedback sensors
• Sensor signal interface: reliability, sensor calibration, and temperature compensation
• Improving reusability through autoclave sterilization processes
