Force-based measurement of tissue stiffness in 1-dof needle insertion robotic device for liver interventions

Finished: 2023-10-16

MSc assignment

The objective of this project is to design and develop a needle insertion robot capable of executing needle-based medical procedures for liver interventions with high efficiency, safety, and precision.

The primary focus of this assignment is on the control system of the robot, which utilizes state-of-the-art algorithms and feedback mechanisms to ensure accurate needle insertion.

Additionally, the project places emphasis on force and position estimation techniques, enabling real-time tracking of needle movement.

The end result will be a robust and reliable needle insertion robot that can provide precise needle locations for liver interventions and has the potential for integration with haptic devices.
