A novel stiffness-sensing system was developed that works by attaching the proposed sensing part to endoscopes or cameras. The system provides a method to investigate the stiffness of tissues or objects in deep areas that can only be observed with endoscopes in order to detect abnormalities. The system is an extension of our previous force sensing system that utilized a force visualization mechanism...
This research developed novel stiffness sensing system attachable to endoscope. The system is an extension of our previous force sensing systems utilizing force visualization mechanism. The sensing part is attached to endoscopes. The force is visualized at the sensing part, and can be measured as visual information via endoscopes. The sensing part also has a structure of limiting the pressing amount...
A silicone retractor that can be attached to suction pipes was developed in order to enhance the usability [1]. The measurement of the retracting force is desired in order to avoid damage to brain tissue due to an unexpected large force. This paper presents a force-sensing embedded silicone retractor that can be attached to suction pipes. The developed silicone retractor can provide three functions...
This paper presents a novel force sensing system for fiberscopes. The key features of the system are its low cost, high resolution, small size, and ability to measure three-dimensional force. A previous study described a novel force sensing system that could be attached to a very thin fiberscope, based on a force visualization mechanism utilizing panty stocking fabric — a highly elastic material....
