Learning-Based Shape Estimation for Rigid Segment Based Continuum Robots
The Multi-Scale Robotics Lab develops novel actuation methods for endoscopic devices utilizing magnetic navigation systems (MNS). In MNS, an external magnetic field applies forces and torques on magnets attached to the endoscopes. To control these endoscopes, precise shape estimation techniques are required. Current methods try to estimate the endoscope’s shape by measuring the external field along the endoscope using hall-sensors. This method requires precise knowledge about the applied external field and often lacks in localization precision in certain directions.

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.
