1 – Interaction with clinicians
- tests with Canadian placenta model – US-compatibility found to be poor.
- disussion on how to proceed – engineers requested to make a new one – discussion of some options.
- first OR tracking experiment together with Benoit
- evaluation and discussion of tracking experiment
- discussion and skype with clinicians to discuss the specifications
2 – Technical part
- ordering of table-top generator for improved tracking experiment
- design and manufacturing of ring-connector (version 1) for measuring patient body wall motion during te procedure.
- update design after surgical input
- continuing specs document
- force sensitive plate manufactured, wiring still needed, study to expand to 6DoF measurements
- listing up first concepts to address specific parts of the stabiliser.
- discussion on evaluation of table-top generator performance (Ben did the actual experiments)
- contribution to IROS paper (conceptual)
- ideas for miniaturising, in preparation of 1st year review.
