In this study, we investigated the palpation in vivo by the tactile sensor composed of organic ferroelectrics for minimally invasive surgery. We evaluated the performance of the sensor and its measurement principle in vivo using our computer-based surgical simulator to simulate a catheter and guidewire in blood vessels. Moreover, we evaluated the piezoelectric properties of the organic ferroelectrics and the parameters of the simulation model, and developed the relating technology. Lastly, we manufactured the prototype and applied this sensor to the industrial use.
