Feasibility Study of Robotic Needles with a Rotational Tip-Joint and Notch Patterns

Shivanand Pattanshetti, Read Sandström, Abhishek Kottala, Nancy M. Amato, Seok Chang Ryu

ICRA 2019poster

In this paper, we present the design of a steerable needle with proximal notch patterns for compliance and an embedded rotational tip joint for articulation. The device is fabricated by laser machining NiTi tube so that an inner working channel exists (to enable delivery of fluids, drugs or microtoo…

Miniature Robotic Tubes with Rotational Tip-Joints as a Medical Delivery Platform

Rohith Karthikeyan, Shivanand Pattanshetti, Seok Chang Ryu

ICRA 2019poster

We present a medical-needle-sized robotic tube with multi-degrees of freedom (M-DOF) rotational hinge joints at the instrument tip, fabricated by two-axis laser micro-machining. Due to the presence of an ample working channel and direct tip controllability, this tube is a potential candidate for the…
