Hall Effect-Based Tactile Force Detection Sensor for Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery
Robotic minimally invasive surgery has revolutionized surgical practice. However, as the surgeons are mechanically separated from the surgical tools, loss of tactile feedback occurs. We present a compact force sensor with three, millimeter scale sensing elements (taxels) that can be affixed to the grasping face of a ro …
