An abdominal phantom with tunable stiffness nodules and force sensing capability for palpation training

Abstract:

Robotic phantoms enable advanced physical examination training before using human patients. In this article, we present an abdominal phantom for palpation training with controllable stiffness liver nodules that can also sense palpation forces. The coupled sensing and actuation approach is achieved by pneumatic control of positive-granular jammed nodules for tunable stiffness. Soft sensing is done using the variation of internal pressure of the nodules under external forces. This article makes...
