Haptics, Robotics And Prototyping In Medicine 1show

This document discusses haptic rendering and force-reflecting haptic devices. Haptic rendering involves using software to determine interaction forces and a device to apply those forces. It allows users to accurately portray textures through simulating properties like pressure, elasticity, and solidity. Several systems take this approach, including the Phantom and EpiSim devices, which are used for applications like robotic surgery training in a safe environment.
