Tethered magnet for minimally invasive surgeries
Tethered magnets can be precisely controlled using magnetic fields and could overcome limitations of conventional catheters. This project is based on the development of a tethered magnet for minimally invasive surgeries.
Keywords: medical robotics, catheter, mechanical design, tethered magnet, magnetic steering.
At the Multi-Scale Robotics Lab, we develop magnetic steerings systems for minimally invasive endovascular surgeries. By generating external magnetic fields, magnetic catheters can be steered inside the body with a high degree of freedom and high dexterity.
In this project, the student will develop a tethered magnet for minimally invasive interventions. The project includes the design, manufacturing, and experimental validation of the catheter. The student will also validate the concept in anatomical models.
The student is expected to work in a structured, independent, motivated, and creative manner.
