Micro-Robot Management

Abstract

Micro-Robots have been and continue to be essential components of medical field. MicroRobots are used in medical field to surgical applications. Knowledge of the kinematics, dynamics and trajectory planning of these Micro-Robots is most important for their design and control. MATLAB is a modern tool that has transformed the mathematical calculations methods because MATLAB not only provides numerical calculations but also facilitates analytical calculations using the computer. The present textbook uses MATLAB as a tool to solve problems from micro-robots. The intent is to show the convenience of MATLAB for micro-robots analysis. Using example problems the MATLAB syntax will be demonstrated. MATLAB is very useful in the process of deriving solutions for any problem in microrobots. The chapter includes a most problem of micro-robots for surgical applications that are being solved using MATLAB. The programs are available at the end of this chapter.
