Publication number: 20230263687Abstract: A haptic device is disclosed comprising at least one fluidic actuator operatively connectable with pumping means; and a plurality of movable members mechanically connected with said at least one fluidic actuator, wherein said movable members can perform a displacement upon actuation of the fluidic actuator and/or resist the movements of a body part of a user upon actuation of the fluidic actuator, to provide a tactile and/or force haptic sensation to a body part of a user. Methods for providing a haptic sensation to a user and receiving haptic input commands from a user are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2021Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: Zhenishbek ZHAKYPOV, Jamie PAIK

Patent number: 8961499Abstract: A surgical instrument having an elongated arm and a distal end mounted with a pivot joint on the elongated arm. A drive shaft substantially coaxial with the elongated arm forms a universal joint facing the pivot joint. A distal tool is securely fastened on the drive shaft and rotatively mounted on and in the extension of the distal end of the elongated arm, such that the distal tool has two rotational degree of freedom, distinct and independent of each other, one being around an axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the elongated arm and the other being around an axis substantially collinear to an own axis of the distal tool. The elongated arm includes a plurality of linking elements mounted in series to form the pivot joint. The universal joint is a Cardan joint.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2010Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignees: Universite Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6), Endocontrol, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)Inventors: Jamie Paik, Guillaume Morel, Clément Vidal, Patrick Henri, Hervé Collet
