From the paper, hybrid trajectory planning of two permanent magnets for medical robotic applications
SoftBrainPhantom: Magnetic soft robot, with multiple magnetic sections so its whole shape can be controlled, is navigated within a brain phantom. Using the planner, it was successfully navigated from the Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) of the brain phantom towards the Internal Carotid Artery (ICA), to the site of an aneurysm. From here, medical stents or drugs could potentially be delivered to treat the aneurysm.
*When the same experiment was performed without the planner, the robotic arms crashed into the phantom.
