Abstrakt: Researchers at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland have made significant progress in the development of magnetic micromanipulation for minimally invasive surgery. They have developed a tracking system called a magnetic-field camera (MFC) that can localize a 1-mm diameter cylindrical magnet robot using a 2-D array of 3-D magnetoresistive sensors. The MFC has a refresh rate of 2 Hz and a mean absolute error of 0.56 mm for position and 5.13 degrees for orientation. This system can be integrated into existing magnetic manipulation systems, allowing for closed-loop control of navigation. The MFC has the potential to be used in applications such as minimally invasive eye surgery or drug delivery. [Extracted from the article]
