Figure Lengend Snippet: Experimental setup: ①-CREM system ②-Continuum Segment ③-OCT Commercial probe ④-Custom made OCT probe deployed within the CR segment ⑤-OCT/linear-slides Arduino Based control box ⑥-Voice coil OCT actuation unit ⑦-Planar Robot ⑧-High Level Control computer ⑨-Matlab RealTime computer ⑩-Mid Level Control computer ⑪-OCT COmputer ⑫-Micro-motion Camera.
Article Snippet: The four computers included: a high-level controller (HLC) 8 for communication and synchronized control, a low-level controller (LLC) for continuum robot control 9 using Matlab RealTime, a mid-level controller (MLC) 10 for acquiring EE position data from LLC and for sending the control-reference signal to the Arduino-based controller of the OCT and the planar robot 7, and a computer for OCT image acquisition and online image segmentation 11.
Techniques: Control
