Haptic-Based Real-Time Platform for Microswarm Steering in a Multi-Bifurcation Vascular Network.

ABSTRACT: The use of electromagnetic fields to control a collection of magnetic nanoparticles, known as a microswarm, has many promising applications. Current research often makes use of accurate but time-consuming simulations lacking real-time human input. On the contrary, human interaction is possible with a real-time simulator, allowing the collection of valuable user interaction data. This paper presents the development and validation of a real-time two-dimensional microswarm simulator to accommodate the human interaction aspect. A haptic device is used to steer the microswarm through a multi-bifurcation vascular network towards a selected outlet. The percentage of particles reaching the selected outlet is used as the success metric. The simulator is verified against collected real-world experim
