Magnetic Three-dimensional Pose Control System for Micro Robots in the Human Head

Abstract

Micro robots are devices that have the ability to revolutionize the area of medicine. These devices work without cables, move easily in aqueous environments, and have the ability to be controlled in different ways, allowing them to access very small places. Currently, three-dimensional electromagnetic actuating systems have been proposed for the movement of micro robots by means of arrangements of Helmholtz and Maxwell coils with various functionalities but with high energy consumption. The present investigation proposes a system of coils of Helmholtz and Maxwell with analysis of the currents used to move the micro robot, complementing with the simulation of movement of the micro robot in the subarachnoid region of the human brain by means of Unity. In this way, it is planned to take a first step to know the design of a real system so that in the future, microrobots can reach difficult areas such as the subarachnoid region.
