The paper, A Dual-Arm 7-DOF Haptics-Enabled Teleoperation Test Bed for Minimally Invasive Surgery, was published in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
Flex Robotic System Creates Easy Access To Perform Transoral Surgeries On Mouth And Throat
This system allows physicians to reach places which a rigid scope cannot and perform procedure that may have required a more invasive approach.
This system allows physicians to reach places which a rigid scope cannot and perform procedure that may have required a more invasive approach.
This setup is capable of measuring forces in 7 degrees of freedom (DOF) and fully reflecting them to the operator through two 7-DOF haptic interfaces.
“The test bed was developed during the doctoral research of Ali Talasaz. It is part of a major project led by me at CSTAR on haptics (sense of touch) and teleoperation in minimal invasive surgery and therapy,” Rajni Patel, the Director of Engineering at CSTAR.
Indian-Origin Teen Creates Low-Cost Robotic Arm For His School Science Fair Project
An Indian-origin teenager was awarded a blue ribbon award - an accolade that recognizes a student's academic excellence in US schools - for his project.

This paper also discusses the design rationale, kinematic analysis and dynamic modeling of the robot manipulators, and the control system developed for the setup. Using the technology described in this paper, a highly transparent haptics-enabled system can be achieved that would be suitable for use in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery.
