The BioCybernetics Initiative By: Farhan Rehman Advisor: Dr. Arthur Ritter Stevens Institute Of Technology CONFIDENTIAL
Mission and Ultimate Goal To design and construct an autonomous device at the Nano-scale that is effective for medical diagnosis and treatment CONFIDENTIAL
Nanotechnology “The science and technology of building electronic circuits and devices from single atoms and molecules at a scale smaller then 100 nanometers” CONFIDENTIAL
Federal Nanotechnology Investments (Million of Dollars) CONFIDENTIAL
Current Camera Pill CONFIDENTIAL
Project proposal • To create a camera pill on the mini scale • Mobile through the human Gastrointestinal Tract (GI Tract) • Have data collection capabilities. • The focus of the project depends on the establishment of three main subsystems: -propulsion - energy - exoskeleton CONFIDENTIAL
Designing a system to control the path and speed of the pill in the G.I. Tract Researching the feasibility of reverse drive Integrating the motor with a wireless transmitter to allow for real-time user control Propulsion Human GI tract CONFIDENTIAL
Propulsion Our physical model of GI tract Our Computer model of Human GI track This is the valves that will provide contraction to move the pill along the GI tract CONFIDENTIAL
The Computer Design of Our Pill CONFIDENTIAL
Energy • The pill demand a consistent power supply for data collection and processing. • The feasibility of the use of piezoelectric fibers to provide power to the mini scale camera pill will be analyzed. • Contraction of the human Gastrointestinal Tract would yield strain on the piezoelectric fibers producing energy. CONFIDENTIAL
Exoskeleton • Researching possible materials • Researching the possibility of a Biodegrading enclosure for the device • Designing several enclosures for the device and the onboard optic system CONFIDENTIAL
Benefits • For doctors to diagnose their patient better with Celiac Disease, Benign and Malignant Tumor in the small intestine, Vascular disorders. • Also to learn about the Human physiology • It more comfortable than a colonoscopy CONFIDENTIAL
Acknowledgment • Dr. Sat • Mentor: Dr. Ritter • Harlem Children Society • Stevens Institute of Technology • Vadim Pinskiy • Vadim Gordin • Ravi Timirdip Buddhdew CONFIDENTIAL
Thank You!Any Question? CONFIDENTIAL
