A multielement tactile feedback (MTF) system has been developed to translate the force distribution, in magnitude and position, from 3 x 2 sensor arrays on surgical robotic end effectors to the fingers via 3 x 2 balloon tactile displays. High detection accuracies from perceptual tests (> 96 percent) suggest that MTF may be an effective means to improve robotic control.
