title = "Modelling needle forces during insertion into soft tissue",
abstract = "Robot-assisted needle-based surgeries are sought to improve many operations, from brain surgery to spine and urological procedures. Force feedback from a needle can provide important guidance during needle insertion. This paper presents a new modelling method of needle force during insertion into soft tissue based on finite element simulation. This is achieved by analysing the results of a series of needle inserting experiments with different insertion velocities. The forces acting on the needle are then modelled based on the experimental results. A simulation is implemented to verify the designed model.",
