Development of catheter-type tactile sensor composed of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film

Abstract To achieve quantitative palpation in vivo, we developed a catheter-type tactile sensor composed of a polyvinylidene fluoride film for minimally invasive surgery. We evaluated the fundamental performance of the prototype sensor by a weight-drop test. We also measured the output of the protot...
