Abstract

This paper describes the development of a 5 active degree of freedom haptic interface intended for arthroscopic surgery simulation. Arthroscopic surgery is an increasingly common surgery for which more advanced training methods would prove very useful. The interface, a 2 DOF planar device which supplements a 3 degree of freedom device, can apply general forces and moments in all directions, except moments about the tool handle axis.
