UCLA engineers developed a novel sensor that could add a sense of “touch” to robotic surgery. Robert Candler, an associate professor of electrical engineering, helped develop a haptic feedback sensor ...

FundamentalVR has unveiled more details for its virtual reality surgery training platform, which uses advanced technologies such as haptic (touch) feedback to show doctors how to do surgeries. The ...

When surgeons are trained to perform a procedure, the old rule of thumb is “watch one, do one, teach one.” It’s a pretty unforgiving learning curve, which requires a big leap on the part of the ...

FundamentalVR has unveiled the addition of advanced haptic gloves to its virtual reality training system for surgeons, which allow them to feel the shape, texture, weight and movement of simulated ...

In an increasingly virtual world, the ability to simulate touch provides powerful advantages, such as potentially allowing an online shopper to, “feel” a shirt fabric. Enter the discipline of haptics, ...

Many predict 5G will be game-changing for healthcare, providing organizations with more connection power and faster broadband speeds. One area where 5G could be especially groundbreaking: remote ...

New tech out of the wearables lab of Northwestern University inventor John Rogers can go beyond the simple buzz of a typical haptic sensor to mimic complex sensations on the skin. Northwestern ...
