Minimally Invasive Surgery is becoming more and more popular. In contrast to traditional surgery techniques this technique uses small incisions in the human body through which cameras and instruments are passed to accomplish the operation from within the body cavity. One of the major drawbacks of this technique is the loss of ''touch''.

As a preparation for my final project, a literature study is performed to provide insight into the recent development on the field of tactile feedback in MIS robotic surgery, in which the surgeon (''master'') remotely controls the surgery robot (''slave'').

During the presentation the specification the requirements or such a system are presented. Furthermore a set of controller architectures will be presented that can be used to provide haptic feedback.
