Haptics, Robotics and Prototyping in Medicine

Haptic Systems

- Several Approaches - Two Important Components in

Common - Software to determine the forces - A device through which these forces

can be applied

Process

-The process of haptic rendering -Force- Reflecting haptic devices - Haptic Rendering can be defined as:

Rendering Method

3D Models

- Accurately Portray - Calculate - Evaluate - Texture

Interface

-Interface Device - Analagous

Specific Haptic Systems

-The Phantom -Free Form Systems -EpiSim - Movement Therapy -Robotic or Telesurgery - Immersive Touch

The Phantom

Stylus – Force Feedback

- Stylus connected to a lamp-like arm - Pressure - Feel - Elasticity - Solidity - Texture, temperature and weight

Free-Form Systems

-Touch – enabled - Create complex, organic shapes -Easy to Learn

Medical Implants and Prosthetics

- Record Time - Pre-Operative Planning - Walter Reed Army Medical Center
