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.
