Abstract
With the objective of developing a system for surgical scalpel cutting skill training, an experiment system, Bidirectional Force Measurement Haptic Recorder was built. Experiment was conducted with the purpose of quantifying the skill difference between the repetitions of trials and shapes of the blade. RT method was applied to evaluate the force and torque sensor data between the conditions. Results showed that difference can be noticeable at the beginning and the end of the round edge knife and throughout the sharp point knife. Certain interval period were found to have clear difference that may be used as discriminant feature for determining the skill. However, the pilot test was conducted on limited material and subject, and therefore, further tests are required to confirm the discussion on multiple condition and evaluated with skilled surgeons performance data.
