Article Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the design of an adaptive control system for robot-assisted surgery with haptic feedback. Through a haptic device, the surgeon teleoperates the medical instrument in free space, fixed on a remote robot or in contact. In free space, the surgeon feels the motion of the robot. In the present paper, we evaluated the performance of the controller on viscoelastic tissue, modeled by a fractional derivative equation. In addition, we propose a novel controller using an integer formalization process that is suitable for these tissue properties. The simulation results suggested that performance, in terms of force control and telepresence, became poorer when the conventional controller, which was designed for elastic target object, was applied to the viscoelastic tissues. In contrast, the results suggested that our proposed controller maintained its performance on the viscoelastic tissues.

Introduction/background: Virtual dental simulators with a haptics component have been used with great success in dental education for over a decade and is becoming an integral part of dental curricula. A large number of studies have been published about the users' perception, acceptance and attitude towards virtual dental simulators. However, no longitudinal or long-term studies to our knowledge have been conducted to evaluate the users' acceptance over time.

As the metaverse blurs the lines between physical and virtual realms, enhanced by haptic devices providing sensory feedback, it is poised to become integral to daily life. However, this new digital frontier is also a site for sexual violence. Women users increasingly report non-consensual touching, image-based sexual abuses and novel forms of gendered harm, often trivialised and inadequately addressed by current laws.

While both techniques have demonstrated success in evoking meaningful sensations in the upper limb, they have only been investigated in separate studies with different patient populations, and thus their perceptual characteristics have never been systematically compared to determine the relative advantages and limitations of each approach. In this study, we directly compared the perceived sensations evoked by ICMS and PNS to those evoked by mechanical touch in a participant with sensory incomplete spinal cord injury.

Background: Lumbar puncture (LP) procedure can be challenging, creating stress for both patients and students. This study assesses the effectiveness of augmented reality (AR) and haptic feedback simulation training compared to traditional bedside teaching.
Method: We conducted a prospective, single center, randomized controlled clinical trial with two parallel groups of medical students inexperienced in LP.
