Limits of human perception of haptic information in Minimally Invasive Surgery tools for use in simulation.
This research looks at the human ability to perceive haptic information when using Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) tools. In the simulation of MIS it is important to understand what haptic information can be perceived by a user. Understanding what can be felt allows the force feedback system of the simulator to be optimized.
