A remote haptic collaboration system for lumbar puncture learning and training has been proposed. The study built a physical model for the simulation of interaction force between the needle and different tissues and developed a new protocol for real-time force feedback data transmission. Based on the processing delay and preprocessing interpolation, the negative effects on remote haptic perception caused by network communication can be reduced to a minimum. Experiments were carried out to justify the proposed method. The experimental results show that (1) our physical model agrees well with the reality lumbar puncture; (2) the integrity of received data has been ensured by means of interpolation preprocessing. Our system can provide a good realism and real-time stability for the remote learning and training of lumbar puncture teaching.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
