Force-sensing robotic assistance for kidney-stone surgery

A haptic bench platform for robot-assisted retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), the standard treatment for kidney stones. The project targets the step that robots still leave to the surgeon's hand, inserting the ureteral access sheath, by sensing force and torque so that it can be done more safely.
