Abstract
Provided is an injection simulation system and method. The system includes a syringe comprising an injection needle, a haptic unit which measures an insertion angle and insertion depth of the injection needle, and which comprises a motor unit that is driven by a haptic force corresponding to the measured insertion angle and insertion depth. The system also includes a control unit which calculates the haptic force corresponding to the insertion angle and the insertion depth, and transmits the calculated haptic force to the motor unit of the haptic unit.
