Project 67：Continuum Robot Design for Endoluminal Intervention or Diagnosis

Contact Information

Prof. Weidong Chen

Project Description and Objectives：

This project aims to develop a small-diameter continuum robot to work in a confined space for endoluminal intervention and diagnosis. The objectives include some of the following tasks: 1) Design an actuation method for the robot motion; 2) Create a robot body as a prototype; 3) Conduct the phantom study or animal test to validate the developed robot or the proposed method.

Eligibility Requirements：

Familiarity with Solidworks etc. for robot modelling;

Good theoretical knowledge of robot kinematics and control;

Be good at hand-on capabilities to create or assemble the robot;

Main Tasks：

Design an actuation method for robot motion and create a robot body as a prototype;

Develop or use the sensors to achieve motion tracking and then design the control strategy to achieve the trajectory control;

Finish the experimental validation and the project report.
