New soft robotics for medical applications! 🚀 Recent research presents a pneumatically driven laparoscopy device with a multi-cavity touch interface for intuitive control in minimally invasive surgery. Promising results pave the way for future innovations!
Dr @shige2494, who completed his PhD at @uclmecheng @ucl @uclrobotics @SoftHaptics & is now with @CSIRO's Data61, published latest findings on a novel multi-cavity haptic feedback system in @IEEEorg Transactions on Haptics #ToH. helge-wurdemann.com/wp-conte… @ieeewhc @SoftRoboticsUK
