Equipment, Personnel, Facilities and Supplies to Conduct Studies on the Research Project Entitled "Look and Feel: Haptic Interaction for Biomedicine"

Abstract

This project focuses on the development and demonstration of fundamental technologies for advanced virtual interaction for surgical simulation and for teleoperation systems used to per for remote surgical procedures. The emphasis at MIT during the past year has been to develop advanced haptic interface technologies, and the development of hardware and software needed to enable enhanced surgical teleoperation. This effort has culminated in the development of the Silver Falcon and Black Falcon teleoperated slave manipulators and associated software for minimally invasive surgery.
