Biomimetic Multifinger Tactile Sensing and Contact‐Regulated Palpation for Autonomous Breast Tumor Localization

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Early detection of breast abnormalities remains challenging: manual palpation is subjective and operator‐dependent, while imaging modalities may miss small or subtle stiffness anomalies. This paper presents a biomimetic multifinger robotic palpation approach intended to support early breast‐cancer screening and follow‐up assessment as a proof ...
