Abstract
An innovative tactile approach to automatically detect mediums and underlying structures ahead on a cutting tool path has been implemented in surgery. In this paper a description of a mechatronic approach to surgery is described and shows the merits of the approach. This is supplemented by evidence of suitability of the method to a wider range of mediums and applications outside of surgical application.
