Model-Free Position Control for Cardiac Ablation Catheter Steering Using Electromagnetic Position Tracking and Tension Feedback

Cardiac ablation therapy is an effective minimally invasive treatment for cardiac arrhythmia. Catheter steering in the constrained environment during the procedure is considered difficult, particularly in providing accurate catheter tip positioning for ablating or for diagnosing the cardiac tissue....
