Abstract :
This work reports on a new and simple method to locate and track the medical robotic device based on the static magnetic field and Hall effort sensor array. In the design, we established an experimental platform based on the static magnetic field and Hall effect sensor array. The platform includes static magnetic source, sensor array module, computer interface and algorithm. The experimental result indicated that this method provides a new way of the medical robotic device locating and tracking
