Programmable Control of Ultrasound Swarmbots through Reinforcement Learning
Full text linkPowered by acoustics, existing therapeutic and diagnostic procedures will
become less invasive and new methods will become available that have never been
available before. Acoustically driven microrobot navigation based on
microbubbles is a promising approach for targeted drug delivery. Previous
studies have used acoustic techniques to manipulate microbubbles in vitro and
in vivo for the delivery of drugs using minimally invasive procedures. Even
though many advanced capabilities and sophisticated control have been achieved
for acoustically powered microrobots, there remain many challenges that remain
to be solved. In order to develop the next generation of intelligent
micro/nanorobots, it is highly desirable to conduct accurate identification of
the micro-nanorobots and to control their dynamic motion autonomously. Here we
use reinforcement learning control strategies to learn the microrobot dynamics
and manipulate them through acoustic forces. The result demonstrated for the
first time autonomous acoustic navigation of microbubbles in a microfluidic
environment. Taking advantage of the benefit of the second radiation force,
microbubbles swarm to form a large swarm, which is then driven along the
desired trajectory. More than 100 thousand images were used for the training to
study the unexpected dynamics of microbubbles. As a result of this work, the
microrobots are validated to be controlled, illustrating a good level of
robustness and providing computational intelligence to the microrobots, which
enables them to navigate independently in an unstructured environment without
requiring outside assistance
Acoustic manipulation of micro-robots with visual servoing feedback control
Full text linkLAUREA MAGISTRALEI micro/nano-robot hanno il potenziale per creare nuove opportunità nella somministrazione
mirata e precisa dei farmaci. L’acustica, con la capacità di generare forze in modalità wireless, renderà le procedure terapeutiche e diagnostiche esistenti meno invasive e consentirà
l’uso di nuovi metodi fino ad oggi non possibili. Questa tesi è stata scritta con l’obiettivo
di ricercare le possibilità del controllo del servocomando visivo applicato alle applicazioni
acustiche. In particolare, in questo lavoro è stata considerata una manipolazione precisa
per micro-nano robot in canali microfluidici in caso di flusso stagnante o caotico. Inoltre,
il sistema di controllo del feedback visivo ha consentito ai microrobot di eseguire in modo
autonomo o semi-autonomo un compito specifico in un ambiente complesso. Il progetto è
stato sviluppato in collaborazione con il Politecnico di Milano e l’ETH di Zurigo.
Inizialmente è stata effettuata l’analisi del modello fisico dei microrobot, che sono microbolle basate sul campo acustico risonante, in seguito è stata svolta l’analisi del modello
matematico delle forze di radiazione acustica generate da questo campo. Alla luce delle
specifiche progettuali sono state individuate le dinamiche del sistema. Successivamente
sono state analizzate le equazioni matematiche che descrivono le forze di attrazione tra i
microrobot, che hanno creato lo sciame dei microrobot.
Dopo aver analizzato il modello, sono state utilizzate diverse configurazioni sperimentali per
testare il sistema di controllo in diversi ambienti e con varie posizioni dell’attuatore. Successivamente sono stati descritti i circuiti di controllo con l’utilizzo di un driver su misura per
un generatore di funzioni che genera i segnali AC per i trasduttori piezoelettrici per trasferirli
in un campo acustico. Successivamente sono state definite l’acquisizione e l’elaborazione
delle immagini per il rilevamento e il tracciamento degli oggetti con l’assegnazione di un ID
specifico a ciascun microrobot durante il targeting al fine di spostare lo sciame più grande sul
bersaglio.
Le caratteristiche risultanti estratte sono state poi utilizzate nelle diverse modalità operative
del controllore. Il controller di asservimento visivo basato sulle immagini ha mostrato difficoltà
nel raggiungere l’obiettivo finale seguendo un percorso predefinito a causa delle dinamiche
inaspettate del sistema. Per far fronte alle difficoltà di guidare il micro-robot, è stato progettato
un controller PI per mantenere costante la velocità degli sciami di micro-robot su tutto
il canale, costringendo inoltre i micro-robot ad attaccarsi al muro per ridurre la forza di
trascinamento influenzandoli mentre si spostano verso il bersaglio.Micro/nano-robots have the potential to create new opportunities in targeted and precise drug
delivery. Acoustics with the ability to generate forces wirelessly will make existing therapeutic
and diagnostic procedures less invasive and enable new methods never before possible. This
thesis is written with the objective to research the possibilities of visual servoing control
applied to acoustic applications. In particular, in this work, precise manipulation for micronano robots in microfluidic channels under the case of stagnant or chaotic flow has been
considered. Furthermore, the visual feedback control system allowed the micro-robots to
either autonomously or semi-autonomously perform a specific task in a complex environment.
The project has been developed in partnership with Politecnico di Milano and ETH Zurich.
The first step focused on analyzing the physical model of the micro-robots, which are microbubbles based on the resonant acoustic field, and then the mathematical model of the
acoustic radiation forces generated by this field. In particular, in view of the design specifications, the dynamics of the system have been identified. Subsequently, the mathematical
equations describing the attraction forces between microrobots have been analyzed, which
created the swarming of the microrobots.
After analyzing the model, several experimental setups have been used to test the control
system in different environments and with various actuator positions. Subsequently, the
control circuits have been described with the use of a custom-made driver for a function
generator that generates the AC signals for the piezo transducers to transform them to an
acoustic field. Afterward, the image acquisition and processing have been defined for object
detection and tracking with assigning a specific ID for each micro-robot swarm while targeting
to move the largest swarm to the destination.
The resulting features extracted were then used in the different operating modes of the controller. The image-based visual servoing controller has shown difficulty in reaching the final
target following a predefined path due to the unexpected dynamics of the system. To deal
with the difficulties of driving the micro-robots, a PI controller has been designed to keep
the speed of the micro-robot swarms constant all over the channel, Additionally driving the
micro-robots to stick to the wall to reduce the drag force affecting them while moving towards
the target
