Design and Performance Evaluation of Tactile Device Using MR Fluid

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposes a novel type of tactile device using magnetorheological (MR) fluid which can be applied in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) robotic system. The remarkable feature of rheological properties of MR fluid by the intensity of the magnetic field makes this potential candidate of the tactile device. As the first step, in order to determine proper input magnetic field the repulsive forces of the real body parts such as hand and neck are measured. Secondly, an appropriate size of the tactile device is designed and manufactured base on magnetic analysis. The final step of this study is to measure the repulsive forces of dividing 5 areas in the tactile device.
