  abstract = {The aim of this study was to design a
    multipole-electromagnet robotic platform named OctoRob. This
    platform provides a minimally invasive means for targeted
    therapeutic interventions in specific intraocular areas. OctoRob is
    capable of generating both appropriate magnetic fields and
    gradients. The main scientific objectives were: (i) To propose an
    optimal reconfigurable arrangement of electromagnets suitable for
    ophthalmic interventions. (ii) To model, design and implement a
    one-degree-of-freedom robotic arm connected with an electromagnet in
    order to optimize the generation of magnetic fields and gradients.
    (iii) To evaluate the magnetic performances of the OctoRob platform,
    including different tilted angles. The results show that OctoRob
    platform has great potential to be applied for ophthalmic surgery.}
