Recent Challenges for Haptic Interface and Control for Robotic Assisted Surgical Training System: A Review

Abstract

Enhancement in the efficiency of surgical proficiency training system requires a continuous effort in surgical care atmosphere without any risk factor and it is known as a complex and challenging task nowadays. The process is exclusively relevant in training of technical skills specific to modern Minimally Invasive System (MIS) based procedures like keyhole surgery. However, modern surgical training systems are more intensive on the improvement of technical skills for dexterity, imagining and accurateness of the surgeons which are lacking in aspects of context-awareness and intra-operative real-time supervision. Context-aware intelligent training systems interpret the modern surgical condition and help surgeons to train on surgical tasks. Motivated by the development aspects and needs, this paper presents in depth review and highlights of the major challenging factors for haptic control interfacing, which are required to overcome in the future development of intelligent and highly integrated surgical training system for robotic surgery.
