The objective of this project is to prove that an intuitive user interface for a teleoperated robotic catheterization system is realizable. Robotic catheterization enables interventionalists to remotely manipulate the guidewire using a control platform outside the interventional radiology suite. This reduces radiation exposure and enhanced accuracy, stability, and dexterity. This newly proposed system mimics the traditional over-the-wire operation with realistic tactile sensation on the wires and catheters. The system includes a control side and a remote side; this project focused on the prototype for the control side. The team was able to utilize mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering techniques to provide haptic feedback to the interventionalists when operating. This project’s results were collected and evaluated to verify that a teleoperated robotic system was possible.
