An abdominal phantom with tunable stiffness nodules and force sensing capability for palpation training

Robotic phantoms enable advanced physical examination training before using human patients. In this article, we present an abdominal phantom for palpation training with controllable stiffness liver nodules that can also sense palpation forces. The coupled sensing and actuation approach is achieved b...
