Abstract
This research targets on developing a training device to enforce the learning of surgical scalpel dissection skill using robot technology. A prototype of scalpel-oriented Haptic Recorder is assembled with force sensors mounted within the scalpel and under the stage to measure the interaction of scalpel operation skill and dissected object's physical property. An experiment is conducted to evaluate the index computing mechanical work loss during the dissection from the two force sensor measurement. Phenol resin is used as test pieces under three states: dry, water-absorbent, and oil-absorbent. With the result of computed mechanical work loss being different between the test piece conditions the index are shown to have possibility to quantitatively model the dissected object and its possibility of modeling the dissection skill to be assessed.
