Abstract
Research findings on Robotics are discussed in a new report. According to news reporting from Beijing, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “Guidewires are the most common type of interventional device used to treat vascular lesions. Magnetic robots have been developed as alternatives to the guidewire, however, most of the magnetic robot studies are qualitative experimental demonstrations uninvolved the quantitative assessment.” Financial support for this research came from Beijing Natural Science Foundation. The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the Beijing Institute of Technology, “This article aims to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the magnetic robot, improving the foreseeability of the tip’s deflection induced by the magnetic field. The qualitative assessment of the magnetic robot is executed through a series of experiments: circular navigation and carotid artery navigation in the vascular phantom. Based on the magnetic manipulation, the magnetically actuated robot achieves 120 degrees deflecting toward the desired direction, navigation in the tortuous pathway, and accessing the hard-toreach distal carotid artery branch. The quantitative assessment of the magnetic robot is carried out by horizontal steering and vertical steering.”
