Abstract
The Hand-Assistive Laparoscopic Surgery (HALS) has made some improvement to the surgical operation; however, it has some risks and limitations. Therefore, we proposed the idea of developing a robotic hand system that can be used as a replacement for the surgeon's hand during the operation. The system is controlled using a teleoperation system, and is equipped with a haptic feedback system. In order to provide the user with the flexibility and robustness of the control we developed a contactless input interface system for controlling the robotic hand motion. The developed system gives the advantages of making the user's hand free of contacting devices which will give a free space for the haptic feedback sensation system.
