As advancements in minimally invasive procedures and miniaturized surgical devices continue, it often becomes difficult for surgeons to operate in a traditional manner using their hands.  Fortunately, surgical robots have evolved, allowing surgeons to instead control and utilize them to make smaller incisions and conduct more precise procedures.  These robots are vital to surgeons as they reduce their fatigue during long or tedious procedures and offer precise functionality and unparalleled precision.  And for patients, use of these technologies help to enable shorter hospital stays, reduced pain, and faster recovery times.  Surgical robots, however, are only able to operate thanks to advanced torque, force, and position sensors that provide the necessary feedback and control to conduct such intricate procedures.  TE’s subject matter experts work hand-in-hand with robotics manufacturers to enable on-going innovations in this area and they are available to the past, present, and future of this exciting topic.
