Master-slave catheter controller with haptic feedback. For more intuitive operation, a separate piece of catheter, called the master catheter, is installed on the controller. The controller’s built-in sensors and encoders can detect the movement of the master-slave catheter. The controller copies the actions of the master-slave catheter to the catheter under surgery, and outputs resistance forces to the operator through the voice coil actuator and linear motor.
