What we do

The Mechatronics in Medicine Laboratory develops robotic and mechatronics surgical systems for a variety of procedures including neuro, cardiovascular, orthopaedic surgeries, and colonoscopies. Examples include bio-inspired catheters that can navigate along complex paths within the brain (such as EDEN2020), soft robots to explore endoluminal anatomies (such as the colon), and virtual reality solutions to support surgeons during knee replacement surgeries.

AB - The application of model based adaptive control to an underactuated system representative of a class of soft continuummanipulators is investigated. To this end, a rigid-linkmodel with elastic joints is employed and an energy shaping controller is designed. Additionally, model uncertainties and external disturbances, both matched and unmatched, are compensated with an adaptive algorithm. This results in a control law that only depends on the orientation and on the angular velocity of the distal link and it is therefore independent of the number of links. Finally, stability conditions are discussed and the effectiveness of the controller is verified via simulations.
