Abstract

Haptic feedback plays a very important role in medical surgery, but it is difficult to provide haptic information in MIS (minimally invasive surgery) or MIRS (minimally invasive robotic surgery). Recently, many sensors are being developed for MIS or MIRS, but they have some obstacles such as size limit and sterilizability in their application to real situations of medical surgery. Optical fiber sensors are one of the most suitable sensors for this environment. Especially, optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor is not influenced by intensity of light source. In this paper, we would like to present the initial results of study on the application of the FBG sensor to measure reflected forces in MIRS environments and then suggest the possibility of successful application to the MIRS systems.
