| description | The aim of this study was to design a multipole-electromagnet robotic platform named OctoRob. This platform provides a minimally invasive means for targeted therapeutic interventions in specific intraocular areas. OctoRob is capable of generating both appropriate magnetic fields and gradients. The main scientific objectives were: (i) To propose an optimal reconfigurable arrangement of electromagnets suitable for ophthalmic interventions. (ii) To model, design and implement a one-degree-of-freedom robotic arm connected with an electromagnet in order to optimize the generation of magnetic fields and gradients. (iii) To evaluate the magnetic performances of the OctoRob platform, including different tilted angles. The results show that OctoRob platform has great potential to be applied for ophthalmic surgery. |
