#Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgical Tool Feels For Tumors, Study Tumors often look identical to healthy nearby tissue, but they tend to feel different. Surgeons often use their fingers to feel the size and shape of what to be resected, but palpation is essentially impossible when relying on minimally invasive access. A team of researchers from Canadian Surgical Technologies & Advanced Robotics (CSTAR) and Western University developed a robotic arm compatible with the Da vinci robotic surgical system that can sense how hard or soft a tissue is. The device was an entry into the Surgical Robot Challenge 2015 recently hosted by Imperial College London. Hey check out all the engineering jobs. Post your resume today y
