DESCRIPTION: AbstractThe talk provides an overview of two ongoing research 
 topics within the Surgical Robotics Laboratory (SRL) in the area of target
 ed drug delivery systems. In the first part of the talk\, I describe some 
 recent work from our lab on the topic of magnetically-actuated continuum r
 obotic instruments. I will begin by presenting optical shape sensing techn
 iques to localise the position of flexible instruments. This is followed b
 y describing ultrasound-guided control of several types of novel magnetica
 lly-actuated instruments. Recent technological advances in micro-­sized ma
 gnetic agents opens new possibilities for biomedical research. The second-
 half of the talk provides an overview of an ongoing research topic within 
 SRL in the area of medical microrobotics (magnetically-actuated minaturize
 d systems). I will discuss how wirelessly-controlled agents might offer ad
 vantages in terms of reduced invasiveness and untethered access to deep-se
 ated regions within the human body. On that account\, this talk covers the
  closed-loop control of microparticles\, hydrogel grippers\, microjets\, a
 nd magnetosperms. BiosketchSarthak Misra joined the University of Twente i
 n 2009. He is currently a Full Professor in the Department of Biomechanica
 l Engineering at the University of Twente\, Netherlands. He is also affili
 ated with the Department of Biomedical Engineering\, University of Groning
 en and University Medical Center Groningen\, Netherlands. Sarthak obtained
  his doctoral degree in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Jo
 hns Hopkins University\, Baltimore\, USA.  Prior to commencing his studies
  at Johns Hopkins\, he worked for three years as a dynamics and controls a
 nalyst at MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates on the International Space St
 ation Program. Sarthak received his Master of Engineering degree in Mechan
 ical Engineering from McGill University\, Montreal\, Canada. He is the rec
 ipient of the European Research Council (ERC) Starting\, Consolidator\, an
 d Proof-of-Concept grants\, Netherlands Organization for Scientific Resear
 ch (NWO) VENI and VIDI awards\, Link Foundation fellowship\, McGill Major 
 fellowship\, and NASA Space Flight Awareness award. He is the co-chair of 
 the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Technical Committee on Surgical R
 obotics\, and area co-chair of the IFAC Technical Committee on Biological 
 and Medical Systems. Sarthak’s broad research interests are primarily in t
 he area of applied mechanics at both macro and micro scales. He is interes
 ted in the modeling and control of electro-mechanical systems with applica
 tions to medical robotics.  Prof. Sarthak MisraSurgical Robotics Laborator
