The Next Gen In-Vivo Cancer Diagnostics project is working on the development and validation of a prototype OCT catheter system by making a Concentric tube robot (CTR), to improve the diagnosis of bladder cancer such that the optimal treatment can be given.
For those diagnostics, digital mapping of the bladder and optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the region of interest is needed and the end-effector for this CRT needs to be designed.
The assignment will therefore be to design a rapid prototype end-effector of a concentric tube robot for the detection of bladder cancer using digital mapping and OCT of the regions of interest.
