In the last decades, fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have become increasingly attractive to
medical applications due to their unique properties such as small size, biocompatibility …

Minimally invasive surgery has been one of the most significant evolutions in medicine. In
this approach, the surgeon inserts specially-designed instruments through a small incision …

This paper presents a novel Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG)-based palpation force sensor to
explore tissue abnormalities during minimally invasive surgery. The proposed sensor design …

Abstract Polymer or Plastic Optical Fiber sensors (POFs) and Fiber Bragg Grating sensors
(FBGs) have gained increasing popularity in biomedical engineering (BME) applications …

This paper presents a clamping force sensor based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) to provide
interaction force feedback for laparoscopic surgery. The proposed sensor mainly consists of …

Haptic feedback is absent in flexible endoscopic surgical robots due to the size constraint of
installing sensors on the small robotic arms. Besides, inherent hysteresis caused by the …

Bio-mechatronics is an interdisciplinary scientific field that emphasizes the integration of
biology and mechatronics to discover innovative solutions for numerous biomedical …

This article presents a novel force sensor to detect the distal force of tendon-sheath
mechanisms (TSMs) in flexible endoscopic surgical robots. We propose to measure the …

This article presents a force/position detection model based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG),
which has been further combined with the octagonal ring structure as a novel surgical jaw …

In cochlear implant surgery, insertion of perimodiolar electrode arrays into the scala tympani
can be complicated by trauma or even accidental translocation of the electrode array within …
