Outline of Final Research Achievements

Less invasive treatment of aneurysms using a microrobot has been proposed. In this study, a microrobot, which was a neodymium disk with a diameter of 1 mm and height of 0.5 mm, was navigated in vascular models using electromagnetic coils. The navigation of the microrobot in a large workspace was feasible when the coil position and angle were controlled by an industrial robotic arm.
First, the electromagnetic system was developed, and the control method was tested in simplified vascular models.Thereafter, the same microrobot was navigated through in 3D MCA phantom (blood vessels: 1-2 mm in diameter) using one nonlinear electromagnetic coil attached to an industrial robotic arm. 160 mm of 3D MCA was navigated in 175 s with an average microrobot position error of 3.7 mm.
