A Low‐Cost, Handheld Optical Stiffness Sensor for Minimally Invasive Surgery
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A novel handheld stiffness sensor is presented for real‐time tissue stiffness characterization. By simultaneously sensing contact force and tissue deformation, the device enables accurate stiffness quantification without requiring precise manual control. This approach offers a promising solution for intraoperative tumor detection and minimally invasive

Dual‐Mode Gripper With Suction and Shape‐Adaptive Freezing Grasps
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study presents a dual‐mode robotic gripper that combines vacuum suction with a shape‐adaptive freezing grasp. The freezing mode uses a compliant rubber membrane, a sprayed water layer, and dry‐ice powder to generate ice‐mediated adhesion while conforming to complex geometries.
