Accurate haptic feedback is highly challenging for flexible endoscopic surgical robots due to space limitation for sensors on small end-effectors and critical force hysteresis of their tendon-sheath mechanisms (TSMs). This paper proposes a deep learning approach to predicting the distal force of TSM...
