Experimental evaluation of magnified haptic feedback for robot ‐assisted needle insertion and palpation

ConclusionsOur haptic‐enabled teleoperation system improved the performance with respect to direct hand interaction of 80%, 306%, and 27% in stiffness discrimination through palpation, stiffness discrimination during needle insertion, and guidance, respectively.
