Man, I don't see how they would be anywhere near having haptic feedback in their 1st generation SPORT.

Just the liabilities alone could make regulatory approval much, much harder for SPORT.

It would be great if they could, but I just don't see what current haptic technology would be suitable for the rather small, articulated snakearms, unless they are sensing cable tension well back in the control head, not the effectors or working snakearms. Have to admit though, I'm not up-to-date on the technology.

Of course, as we all know, Surgibot beat us to it with "Natural Haptic Feedback", trademark registered to LTG. (LOL)

By the way, it's nice having him on ignore.
