Haptic systems include hardware and software components for providing programmable sensations of mechanical nature, such as those related to the sense of touch. This article covers the mechatronic design of a rigid endonasal endoscopy simulator that allows the user to feel force feedback collisions with the anatomical structures during navigation in a virtual environment. The mechatronic system design provides tactile feedback information with three degrees of freedom to the user based on an open loop implemented control. The tests were performed on a computational prototype that allows the visualization of medical image volumes and navigation with collision detection system. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
