—In this paper the first haptic display capable of applying a true impulse to the operator is presented. The applied impulse results in an immediate change of the user’s momen...
: Conventional laparoscopic tools do not have the ability of providing force feedback to a surgeon during surgical procedures. Loss of haptic feedback in MIS procedures is a disadv...

In this paper, we show how to deform a planar rational cubic based on a local interpolation constraint while retaining the qualitative shape of the curve. An impedance-type, paral...
