Editorial: Haptic training simulation, volume II

Abstract

Haptic training simulation, volume II Haptic training simulation (Lelev et al., 2020) usually deals with kinesthetic feedback. This second edition explores complementary approaches in the medical domain (as in He et al. (2022) specifically for tissue examination), to provide realistic feedback and objective assessment to trainees during their training. Thus, Dragunasu et al. and Rrvik et al. introduce novel tactile devices while Gautier et al. propose to equip practice boxes with a vision system to enable objective assessment. From an complementary point of view, Jourdes et al. propose to train on surgical robots that do not provide haptic feedback using visual feedback (Bresler et al., 2020).
