Our objective is to move a spherical magnet in a circular trajectory while it is suspended in a soft gel. Why so specific and seemingly arbitrary? This is to demonstrate the potential applications of minimally invasive surgeries. In our demonstration, the soft gel is meant to simulate brain tissue, and the spherical magnet is meant to simulate a medical device. Our challenge lies in controlling its motion.

Week 5 Update
This week, the team made the first batch of the agarose gel. The gel was tested with the magnets. It was observed that the first batch was not good. There was big inconsistency in the gel which caused the small magnet to move fast in some areas of the gel and slow in other areas. Another batch of gel will be prepared in week 6. The 3-D models were sent for printing and the team is waiting for them to be approved.
