More Information
Summary:The robotic surgical finger and controller with tactile feedback is a remotely controllable robotic finger for surgical examination and procedures, for example, that provides real-time temperature and pressure feedback to the user, as well as friction feedback for detecting texture, slippage and the like. The robotic finger includes a plurality of joined segments simulating a human finger, and a sensor module mounted on each of the segments. A control sheath receives a finger of a user's hand and includes at least one joint angle sensor in communication with a plurality of servomotors for driving angular movement of the plurality of segments of the robotic finger. A plurality of tactile feedback modules are further mounted in the control sheath for providing temperature, pressure and friction feedback signals to the user's finger based on measurements made by the sensor modules of the robotic finger. A hand using multiples fingers is further provided.
