Conditioned haptic perception for 3D localization of nodules in soft tissue palpation with a variable stiffness probe.

This paper provides a solution for fast haptic information gain during soft tissue palpation using a Variable Lever Mechanism (VLM) probe. More specifically, we investigate the impact of stiffness variation of the probe to condition likelihood functions of the kinesthetic force and tactile sensors m...
