New tactile sensing system for minimally invasive surgical tumour localization

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) suffers from the inability to directly palpate organs for tumour localization. A tactile sensing system (TSS), consisting of a probe and a visualization interface, was developed to present an active pressure map of the contact surface to locate tumours during MIS.
