Thanks to innovative minds and developments in technology, robotic surgical systems continue to advance. One significant challenge, however, is limited ability for existing tools to provide a sense of touch, or haptic feedback, due to lack of appropriate force data. A recently-published article in Medical Design Briefs magazine illustrates how touch sensors, like FlexiForce™ force sensitive resistors, can help fill that void for engineers seeking to instill a sense of touch in robotic surgical devices and systems.
