Abstract
The objective of this project is to present a design of active steerable surgical needle that can actively and controllably bend during tissue insertion to reach target location with accuracy. A design consideration on the nitinol actuator in the active needle will be explained, a prototype is fabricated and tested and a computational study will be discussed.
