Evaluating the Feasibility of Magnetic Tools for the Minimum Dynamic Requirements of Microneurosurgery
Cameron Forbrigger,Erik Fredin,Eric Diller,Cameron Forbrigger,Erik Fredin,Eric Diller
Neurosurgery could benefit from robot-assisted minimally invasive approaches, but existing robot tools are insufficiently small and compact. Magnetic actuation is an attractive approach to medical robotics because it allows small, modular serial mechanisms to be remotely actuated. Despite these advantages, magnetic actuation is relatively weak compared to alternative actuation methods. In this pap...
