NET-TYPE TACTILE SENSATION APPARATUS FOR USING MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL FLUIDS AND A SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY FOR PROVIDING A SURGEON WITH PRECISE INFORMATION ON SHAPE AND REACTIONS OF ORGANS

摘要

PURPOSE: A net-type tactile sensation apparatus using magnetorheological fluids and a shape memory alloy is provided to provide a surgeon with precise information on shape and reactions of organs by using an apparatus with the shape memory alloy formed into a net shape.;CONSTITUTION: A net-type tactile sensation apparatus using magnetorheological fluids and a shape memory alloy comprises a net-type structure and a cover(23). The net-type structure comprises wires(21) and connecting ports(22). The wire is made of the shape memory alloy, in which the shape is variable depending on the applied current. The connecting ports connects the wires to each other. The net-type structure is formed as one or more wires and the connecting port are connected. The cover is filled with the magnetorheological fluids and covers the net-type structure.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2012
