Details

Research on magnetically actuated composite soft material robots is highly emerging due to their wide range of applications especially, in Bio-medical engineering. Unlike traditional robots, they are highly
flexible, have high dexterity, are biocompatible and lightweight. Hard magnetic soft continuum robot comprises soft polymer and hard magnetic microparticles that can be actuated by the external magnetic
field and are capable of steering and navigation in constrained and complex environments. Workspace is the set of all reachable points by the end effector. In minimally invasive surgeries, a larger workspace
governs the steerability of the soft continuum robots. In this work, studies are carried out on the workspace of uniformly magnetized at an arbitrary angle with the neutral axis under the external magnetic field for a continuum robot. Analytical formulations and numerical solutions are presented for deflection and rotation profiles of the continuum robot and perturbed pitchfork bifurcations are observed. Salient observations from the simulation study would be projected as part of the presentation.
