Existing sensor-based global localization methods limit the miniaturization potential of magnetically-actuated endoscopes (MAE) while localization based on external medical imaging demands accurate registration and imposes a variety of modality-specific challenges during continuous image acquisition
Magnetically-actuated flexible endoscopes (MAFE) have been well used in minimally-invasive surgery because they can be steered by a magnetic field thus more flexible than traditional endoscopes. Model-free and uncalibrated visual-feedback control makes it possible to manipulate MAFE with a magnetic…
Magnetically-actuated robotic catheter (MARC) has shown great potential in minimally-invasive surgery because they can be steered remotely and wirelessly. However, when driven by external permanent magnets (EPM), the MARC is subject to nonlinearly-coupled gravitational, magnetic, and elastic forces,
