Advisor: Dr. Jake Abbott

Project Title : A Novel Permanent Magnetic Manipulator System

• The objective of the thesis was to control the movement of helical magnetic microrobots using non uniform fields for medical applications like cochlear implants and in vitro surgeries. Software development of controllers involved position/velocity and sinusoidal control with help of C programming. The prototype is being developed into a medical device now.

• The conceptual designing and prototype designing was a important part.

• The major emphasis was the designing, building and control of the rotational manipulator system and using Thorlabs equipment to map non-uniform magnetic fields. Designing done by SolidWorks.

• It gave me an exposure and knowledge with medical robotics, devices and FDA regulations.

Result: The prototype was built efficiently to control the microrobot. Strength of magnetic fields and field gradients increase rapidly with distance from the source.

Skills used: SolidWorks, Machine Shop, C++, Java, OpenGL, Robust Control, Microsoft Office like Word Excel, LaTex.
