Robotic Magnetic Navigation for Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2006
We assessed feasibility of magnetic catheter guidance in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing circumferential pulmonary vein ablation (CPVA).No data are available on feasibility of remote navigation for AF ablation.Forty patients underwent CPVA for symptomatic AF using the NIOBE II remote magnetic system (Stereotaxis Inc., St.

Magnetic strips as landmarks for mobile robot navigation [PDF]

2016 International Conference on Applied Electronics (AE), 2016
In this paper, a low-cost localization system designed for mobile robots is introduced. The system has been developed for a teaching aid where a mobile robot operates in a maze. The mobile robot is navigated by a high level control system where path-planning is executed; however, autonomous execution of the plan is required from the robot.
