Artificial Tactile Sensing in Biomedical Engineering
by: Siamak Najarian, Javad Dargahi, Ali Abouei Mehrizi
Abstract: Comprehensive information on artificial tactile sensing design for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). This innovative guide focuses on the artificial sense of touch andits application in medicine and surgery. It explains the five natural senses in human beings and then explores the variety of tactile sensors and their potential for medicine.
