We have haptic feedback. da Vinci does not, yet they own the market. Senhance does have it but the few surgeons who commented on it seemed underwhelmed, saying it didn't feel natural. Titan had haptic feedback for Amadeus and supposedly had done a lot of fine tuning; hopefully their homework back then will pay off with a much more natural-feeling control system for SPORT, or whatever the rebranded device will be called. I don't think it was in the earlier SPORT from last year's trials... anyone know for sure?

With the added features, 2 cameras, better resolution, haptics, etc., I can't wait for feedback to start coming in once surgeons begin the trials with this new design!

Further, we have improved the surgeon interface at the workstation with a more comfortable handle design, a new 4K monitor and upgraded haptic feedback with image overlays to assist the surgeon with the positioning of the instruments for optimal performance.

Force feedback and Haptic feedback integrated into the new design. The sense of touch in Robotics has always been lost in Robotic surgery. Lets not forget our solid IP.. ISRG daVinci has ZERO force feedback or haptic feedback integrated in their robots!
