Surgical Microscope Demo | Torque Sensing, Active Vibration Damping & Force Feedback with SensoJoint

How can torque sensing improve the usability, precision and safety of next-generation medical devices?

In this demonstration, Sensodrive showcases SensoJoint integrated into a Surgical Microscope Demonstrator. The system illustrates how intelligent torque sensing enables intuitive interaction, smooth manual guidance and advanced robotic assistance for medical technology.

🔹 Sensitive Teaching – Teach robot movements simply by hand. SensoJoint operator guidance through torque sens-ing, enabling intuitive programming

🔹 Collision Detection – Detect unexpected contact in real time. Integrated torque sensing immediately identifies ex-ternal forces, improving safety for operators and patients

🔹 Stiffness Adjustment – Adapt the robot’s compliance to the application. From highly rigid positioning to compliant interaction, SensoJoint enables flexible behavior depending on the task.

🔹 Active Vibration Damping – Maintain a stable microscope image even during stopping or physical interaction. Active damping suppresses vibrations and improves image quality.

🔹 Gravity Compensation – Guide heavy microscope systems effortlessly by hand. Automatic load compensation continuously rebalances the system when instruments or accessories are added or removed.

🔹 Teleoperation with Haptic Feedback – Enable intuitive remote manipulation through precise force control and realistic haptic feedback.allowing users to even perceive differences in stiffness and interact naturally with delicate strucutures.

Typical Applications:

• Surgical Microscopes

• Medical Robotics

• Robot-Assisted Surgery

• Teleoperation Systems

• Human-Robot Collaboration

• Precision Motion Control

• Haptic Interfaces
