    Abstract

    It is generally accepted that robotic surgery has increased in popularity which has revolutionized the medical field over the past few decades. Despite many successes and development, there are still a lot of challenges what was remained in the surgeries such as the requirement of haptic feedback system has become a raising issue due to a lot of failure cases during robotic surgery processes, for example: suture breakage because of pulling action in knot-tying, slipped on a needle of grasping action or inadequate of force. In this paper, an image-based force sensing feedback system is presented. which can reduce instances of surgery failure without negatively impacting the surgeon’s performance. Visual images-based were employed to watching the distance changing of plasticity sensor during the time it was suffering an opposite reaction force from grasping action of a surgery robot arm. From the experiments, this visual images-based evaluation method can detect a minimum force value of 0.01 Newton. This system provides extraordinary accuracy of force sensing feedback and also hands controlling for a robot arm, the accuracy shows up to 99.96%.
