HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Forces Along Flexible Instrument et al. from the (RAS), Department of Mechanical Engineering, KU Leuven University, Leuven, Belgium, FBGS Tianjin University, China have published the research: FBG-Based Estimation of External Forces Along Flexible Instrument Bodies, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: Regarding the latter, most of the previous works focused on estimating the contact force at the tip of the manipulator/instrument, rather than along the whole body. The paper focused on the feasibility of the proposed method but had a large computational cost and limited use in real-time applications (Aloi and Rucker . . .
