Improving a User's Haptic Perceptual Sensitivity by Optimizing Effective Manipulability of a Redundant User Interface
Download2022-11-03
Teng Li, Ali Torabi, Hongjun Xing, Mahdi Tavakoli
ABSTRACT: Human perceptual sensitivity of various types of forces, e.g., stiffness and friction, is important for surgeons during robotic surgeries such as needle insertion and palpation. However, force feedback from robot end-effector is usually a combination of desired and undesired force...

Investigation of Selective Targeting of Lumbar Spinal Structures with Spinal Manipulative Therapy
DownloadSpring 2016
Background: Low back pain is a prevalent condition commonly treated with conservative care, including spinal manipulative therapy (SMT). It is well known that forces applied by SMT are transfered to spinal tissues and that these forces inititate SMT’s benefitial (or possibly harmful) health...
