Haptic Feedback for Microrobotics Applications: A Review [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2016 Microrobotics systems are showing promising results in several applications and scenarios, such as targeted drug delivery and screening, biopsy, environmental control, surgery, and assembly. While most of the systems presented in the literature consider autonomous techniques, there is a growing interest in human-in-the-loop approaches.
