Development of a novel actuator for soft-robotic applications

The Multiscale Robotics Lab develops novel actuation methods for endoscopic devices utilizing magnetic navigation systems. Currently, an external magnetic field can steer permanent magnets through the Euclidean space. Although the gradients of the external magnetic field can be controlled, the actuation of the magnetic continuum robot (m-CR) is still limited. This problem can be overcome by actively re-magnetizing the magnets positioned in the m-CR. The pulse-magnetizer’s driving circuit and magnetization feedback sensors needs to be minimized to fulfill the requirements for medical endoscopic devices.

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.
