Robotic magnetic navigation for ablation of human arrhythmias: Initial experience
Archives of Cardiovascular Diseases, 2009 Magnetic navigation system (MNS) (Niobe, Stereotaxis, Saint-Louis, Missouri, USA) allows remote control of a radiofrequency ablation catheter using a steerable magnetic field and a catheter advancement system.We report our initial experience of ablation of human arrhythmias using the MNS.Eighty-four patients (mean age 54+/-17years; 39 women) had an ...

Magnetic Mapping for Robot Navigation in Indoor Environments [PDF]
2021 International Conference on Indoor Positioning and Indoor Navigation (IPIN), 2021 Localization has always been one of the fundamental problems in the field of robotic navigation. The emergence of GPS came as a solution for localization systems in outdoor environments. However, the accuracy of GPS is not always sufficient and GPS based systems often fail and are not suited for indoor environments.

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.

Endovascular Magnetically Guided Robots: Navigation Modeling and Optimization [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2012 This paper deals with the benefits of using a nonlinear model-based approach for controlling magnetically guided therapeutic microrobots in the cardiovascular system. Such robots used for minimally invasive interventions consist of a polymer binded aggregate of nanosized ferromagnetic particles functionalized by drug-conjugated micelles.
