At Philips Image Guided Therapy, we make the difference in minimally invasive treatment to improve patient outcomes and save lives. With our image-guided therapy systems, we aim to remove barriers to safer, more effective, and more reproducible treatments. Philips Azurion is the next generation image-guided therapy platform. Azurion is designed to consistently and efficiently help the user navigate equipment (such as catheters) inside arteries or veins, as well as to help visualize in three dimensions the anatomic regions of interest. Together, we open doors to new procedures and techniques that truly make a difference to people’s lives.
The context of this assignment is within the Mechatronics Department. Being able to correctly position and orient the X-ray beam of the Azurion system in any angulation and rotation combination, with respect to the region of interest in the patient body, is the main responsibility of our department.
Problem description:
This MSc thesis targets the planner–controller interface: (1) find optimal OMPL planner settings for representative scenarios, and (2) design and validate a control strategy—such as MPC or a well-engineered feedforward/feedback scheme—to smoothly and robustly follow the planned paths while meeting velocity/acceleration/jerk limits.
The Open Motion Planning Library (OMPL) offers a wide family of planners (e.g., PRM/PRM*, RRT/RRTConnect, RRT*, Informed RRT*, BIT*, FMT*, T-RRT) whose performance depends strongly on configuration and environmental structure (narrow passages, clutter, curvature demands) as well as on the state-space metric, collision-checking resolution, and termination criteria. Even when a high-quality geometric path is found, executing it on real hardware requires time-parameterization and a controller that achieves smooth, constraint-respecting motion under model errors and sensing noise.
