Magnetic Model Calibration for Tetherless Surgical Needle Manipulation using Zernike Polynomial Fitting

Exerting forces and torques instantaneously on rigid magnetic bodies with no physical connection is an attractive feature of magnetic robotics. This demonstrates great potential for manipulating tools that are externally controlled through the use of magnetic fields in minimally invasive surgeries. The magnetic field can be controlled by the application of currents to electromagnets positioned aro...
