Project Description and Objectives:
This project aims to develop the sensing techniques for continuum robots for surgical tasks in confined spaces. The objectives include some of the following tasks: 1) Design a kind of sensing technique for the continuum robot; 2) Fabricate the sensor body to be assembled on the continuum robot; 3) Conduct a phantom study or animal test to validate the developed sensor.
Eligibility Requirements:
Familiarity with Solidworks etc. for the mechanical modelling;
Good theoretical knowledge about robot sensing;
Be good at hands-on capabilities to fabricate or assemble the sensor.
Experience with micro/nano robots and flexible electronics preferred.
Main Tasks:
Design a sensor structure capable of working with the continuum robot;
Create the sensor body to be assembled on the continuum robot;
Finish the experimental validation and the project report.
