Title: Control of haptic interfaces for assisting or learning surgical gestures
Abstract
Medicine, and surgery in particular, is full of technical problems linked to the learning and/or implementation of precise, life-saving gestures. In this context, numerous robotic tools have been developed to assist with gestures and transmit them. A great deal of work has been done on visual and audio feedback and is still under study. In recent years, however, haptic (tactile or kinaesthetic) feedback has emerged, enabling practitioners to add the sense of touch to visual tools. This notion is all the more important in a field of application where vision is becoming increasingly indirect (e.g. laparoscopy), and where the transmission of knowledge is based as much on the sensation of palpation as on the visual aspect of a given situation. To integrate these technological solutions, we must overcome several scientific hurdles, such as defining practitioner-patient and human-robot interactions and modeling the living world through the haptic illusion provided by the kinaesthetic feedback of a given gesture/movement. To achieve this, it is necessary to be able to model soft-tissue deformation, enabling haptic control laws to be established.
