A novel 4‐DOF surgical instrument with modular joints and 6‐Axis Force sensing capability

It is difficult for surgeons to exert appropriate forces during delicate operations due to lack of force feedback in robot‐assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS). A 4‐DOF surgical grasper with a modular wrist and 6‐axis force sensing capability is developed.
