| 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.

| Magnetically actuated continuum robots possess several desirable properties that make them promising for a variety of medical applications. They are characterized by low-weight, inherent compliance, and high flexibility which - for instance - allows them to be deployed in minimally invasive surgeries. At the Multi-Scale Robotics Lab at ETH Zürich, we have developed several so-called electro-Magnetic Navigation Systems (eMNS) throughout the past decade. Simply speaking, an eMNS is an array of electro-magnetic coils that are arranged in a specific configuration. By applying an electric current to the coils, a magnetic field is generated that can be used to control magnetic objects in the space. In addition, a superimposed localization field with a unique frequency can be generated throughout the space by each electromagnet. The localization field of the electromagnets can be sensed by pickup coils integrated into the device to be actuated which allows for estimation of the 3D position and shape of the continuum robot.
