Fueled by novel applications, interest in haptic perception is growing. This paper provides
an overview of the state of the art of a number of important aspects of haptic perception. By …

Objective Bone sawing or cutting is widely used for bone removal processes in bone
surgery. It is an essential skill that surgeons should execute with a high level of experience …

Humans communicate by writing, often taking notes that assist thinking. With the growing
popularity of collaborative Virtual Reality (VR) applications, it is imperative that we better …

Current surgical robotic systems are teleoperated and do not have force feedback.
Considerable practice is required to learn how to use visual input such as tissue deformation …

Immersive virtual environments combined with kinaesthetic and/or tactile haptic feedback
are becoming an essential building block of simulator training in a variety of applications …

Purpose Cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) surgery to restore normal skeletal anatomy in patients
with serious trauma to the face can be both complex and time-consuming. But it is generally …

Nowadays, robot assisted surgery training relies more and more on computer-based
simulation. However, the application of such training technologies is still limited to the early …

In this study, we analyzed students' reasoning and explanations of friction concepts before
and after engaging in guided experimentation with visuohaptic (VH) simulations. The VH …

The traditional neurosurgical apprenticeship scheme includes the assessment of trainee's
manual skills carried out by experienced surgeons. However, the introduction of surgical …
