  1. The BioCybernetics Initiative By: Farhan Rehman Advisor: Dr. Arthur Ritter Stevens Institute Of Technology CONFIDENTIAL

  2. Mission and Ultimate Goal To design and construct an autonomous device at the Nano-scale that is effective for medical diagnosis and treatment CONFIDENTIAL

  3. Nanotechnology “The science and technology of building electronic circuits and devices from single atoms and molecules at a scale smaller then 100 nanometers” CONFIDENTIAL

  4. CONFIDENTIAL

  5. CONFIDENTIAL

  6. CONFIDENTIAL

  7. Federal Nanotechnology Investments (Million of Dollars) CONFIDENTIAL

  8. Current Camera Pill CONFIDENTIAL

  9. 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

  10. 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

  11. 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

  12. The Computer Design of Our Pill CONFIDENTIAL

  13. 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

  14. CONFIDENTIAL

  15. 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

  16. 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

  17. Acknowledgment • Dr. Sat • Mentor: Dr. Ritter • Harlem Children Society • Stevens Institute of Technology • Vadim Pinskiy • Vadim Gordin • Ravi Timirdip Buddhdew CONFIDENTIAL

  18. Thank You!Any Question? CONFIDENTIAL
