Development of a Teleoperation Precision Grasping System with a Haptic Feedback Sensation on the User’s Fingertip

Abstract

Tactile feedback sensation is an important factor in the surgical and medical application. A simple gripper is developed to perform precision grasping using teleoperation technology. The system provides the user with the tactile feedback sensation through a haptic device that applies forces on the user’s fingertip based on the measured force at the gripper’s fingertip.
