Pedro PERRUSI defends his master thesis in project SPERRY on the subject: Advances in the Inverse Biomechanical Simulation Framework for Autonomous Robotic Needle steering. The two major contributions to the project are:

1. The addition of respiratory prediction filters to the inverse simulation
2. The implementation of a beveled tip needle finite element model.

The evaluation board is composed of Dr. Bernard Bayle, coordinator of the TI-Santé studies at Télécom Physique Strasbourg, Dr. Laurent Barbé, research scientist of ICube’s AVR team and the project supervisors, Dr. Hadrien Courtecuisse and PhD(c) Paul Baksic.
