Development of a fully autonomous system for intravitreal injections
Intravitreal therapy is a method of delivering medication into the eye to treat various retinal diseases. Patients need to visit the doctor regularly for the basic and time-consuming procedure. To optimize patient experience and procedure time, the Multiscale Robotics Lab is developing a robotic system which can automate the delivery of drugs into the eye. Cutting-edge robotic technology is required to overcome the performance and device safety challenges posed by rapid eye movements and direct mechanical interaction between the robotic end-effector and human tissue.

The goal of the thesis is to develop a kinematic platform which allows the demonstration of a fully autonomous injection into an ex vivo porcine eye. The project involves the design, the evaluation and the testing of the kinematic platform including the integration of other core components. To enable easy integration in the existing MSRL code stack, the software shall be integrated in the ROS framework.
