The tools currently used in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) lack any sort of tactile sensing, significantly reducing the performance of these types of procedures. This book systematically explains the various technologies which the most prominent researchers have proposed to overcome the problem. Furthermore, the authors put forward their own findings, which have been published in recent patents and patent applications. These solutions offer original and creative means of surmounting the current drawbacks of MIS and robotic surgery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey features:-\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehensively covers topics of this ground-breaking technology including tactile sensing, force sensing, tactile display, PVDF fundamentals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes the mechanisms, methods and sensors that measure and display kinaesthetic and tactile data between a surgical tool and tissue\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by authors at the cutting-edge of research into the area of tactile perception in minimally invasive surgery\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides key topic for academic researchers, graduate students as well as professionals working in the area\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJavad Dargahi\u003c\/b\u003e, Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical \u0026amp; Industrial Engineering, Concordia University, Canada\u003cbr\u003eDr. Dargahi received his PhD from Glasgow Caledonian University, Glasgow, in the area of \"Robotic Tactile Sensing\", in 1993.
