Magnetic Continuum Robots

Description (currently not funded)

We develop novel magnetic continuum robots for minimally invasive robotics operations with medical image guidance. Your task will be exploring different magnetic continuum robot actuation methods, combining ultrahigh field magnetic actuation and concentric-tube robot actuation concepts.

Successful applicants will work on interdisciplinary research projects spanning various exciting fields, including:

  • Magnetism and Magnetic actuation
  • Continuum mechanics
  • Electromagnetic actuation systems
  • Mechatronic design
  • Nonlinear control

Education & Experience

Applicant should

  • have background in Mechanical Engineering , Electrical Engineering , Biomedical Engineering , Mechatronic Engineering , or Physics
  • have high motivation
  • have good oral and written communication skills in English.
  • be able to work on-site at METU Ankara

Applicant should have experience/knowledge in following areas:

  • Mechatronics (integrated hardware and software system)
  • Programming (C++
  • Python
  • ROS)
  • CAD designing
  • Embedded systems
  • Control theory (optional)
  • Magnetism (optional)

Application

You can apply by sending an email with title "Application Magnetic Continuum Robots", including your:

  • Motivation letter,
  • CV,
  • Transcripts,
  • Up to 3 selected publications if applicable.

For any questions send email to PI.
