Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is continuously evolving and improving its techniques due to the
fact that is being more and more used given its numerous advantages, which may go from less
pain and faster recovery to a better cosmetic outcome.
A big advance in this technique has been the implementation of robotically assisted systems, which
have loads of advantages as well. Nonetheless, they have some perks like the lack of tactile
perception and loss of depth in the vision of the surgeon. Although clinicians have adopted some
means to overcome these limitations, the lack of haptic feedback is still a big problem and it's
frequent rupturing healthy tissues while suturing.
Therefore, there is a huge urge and desire for the development of a robotically assisted surgical
system that includes haptic feedback.
The main goal of this project is to implement haptic feedback in a robotic arm to provide the surgeon
with tactile perception during the interventions and therefore prevent damages to the patient.
