Abstract

Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) enhances precision and ergonomics but lacks haptic feedback, limiting surgeons' ability to regulate force and develop efficient sensorimotor control. This study evaluated whether force feedback improves motor learning underlying robotic control among robotically naïve surgeons. Twenty-eight robot-naïve participants (14 residents, 14 laparoscopic surgeons) completed f…
