  • The technology developed by SynTouch enables a robot equipped with BioTacs to discriminate between 117 different textures with greater than 95% accuracy. The system was even shown to outperform human subjects in discriminating between difficult pairs of textures.

  • Surgeons have developed new minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques and instruments so that procedures that would previously have required a large incision can now be performed through a tiny 10mm cut.
  • University of Western Ontario and Canadian Surgical Technologies and Advanced Robotics (CSTAR) in London, Ontario
  • The researchers used a torque sensor to measure the force of the palpations.

  • Using tactile MIS sensing instruments under robotic control reduces the maximum force applied to the tissue by over 35% compared to a human controlling the same instrument. Accuracy in detecting the tumours was also far greater with the robot - between 59 and 90% depending on the robot control method used for palpation.
  • If developed further, the authors suggest that this type of instrument would particularly benefit surgeons performing lung tumour resection, where tissue often shifts significantly.

  • Bending the fiber in one direction leads to a better transmission whereas bending in the other direction leads to a lower transmission, compared to the straight position.
  • Plastic optical fiber can also be used for seat-occupancy recognition
  • One approach for seat-occupancy recognition is the Kinotex cavity sensor from Canpolar East (St. John’s, NF, Canada).
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Many consumers are probably aware of the use of tactile sensors that can stop a car window if an object is in the way. While many of these sensors are nonoptical, the evanescent field of an optical fiber can also be exploited in this application.
