Popis: This paper models an extensible catheter with an embedded magnet at its distal tip subject to an external magnetic field. We implement a control method coined observed control to perform model-based predictive control of the catheter using a Kalman smoother framework. Using this same smoother framework, we also solve for catheter shape and orientation given magnetic and insertion control using Cosserat rod theory and implement a disturbance observer for closed-loop control. We demonstrate observed control experimentally by traversing a 3D cube trajectory with the catheter tip. The catheter achieved positional accuracy of 3.3 mm average error in open-loop, while closed-loop control improved the accuracy to 0.33 mm.
