Robotically Assisted Cochlear Imaging and Access 600

چکیده
Cochlear implants are electronic devices that are used to restore hearing to individuals with severe-toprofound sensorineural loss via direct stimulation of the auditory nerve. Implantation requires the insertion of an electrode into human cochlea. This project aims at developing a safe robotic approach for minimizing intracochlear trauma during electrode insertion and consequently preserving the natural residual hearing in patients. For this purpose, OCT-imaging techniques will be integrated with the steadyhand robot. By imaging and modeling the cochlea, and eliminating hand-tremor the system will assist in placing a cochlear implant electrode array into the cochlea with the right position and orientation.
