The purpose of this project is to remove surgeons during neuro-interventional procedures and allow them to teleoperate into the room. We have designed, fabricated, and tested a teleoperated - robotic platform capable of replicating the motion of an off-shelve medical device used during the procedure through real-time tracking and simultaneous motor control with an Arduino-ROS/MATLAB interface. In addition, the system is also equipped to handle functions like continuous wire feeding, making the platform more independent and functional in real-life scenarios. ​Doing this will improve the efficiency of the surgeons because they will no longer be exposed to high amounts of X-Ray radiation. Furthermore, the surgeons will no longer have to wear heavy lead vests because their exposure to radiation has significantly decreased.
