Abstract

This paper proposed a force rendering method for palpation motions based on the haptic enhanced reality method. In this approach, the force from a haptic device is overlapped with that of an elastic surgical phantom to provide cost-effective force rendering. The experimental results showed that the proposed method can render heart beating on the surgical phantom.
