3d simulation of medical devices

During the design phase of a medical device instrument it is crucial to lower the risk and costs before a main hardware is built or before the new software is written onto the controller element of the hardware. To do so we are creating various simulation systems to prevent failures.

Before releasing a new version of firmware, the goal is to test the motions and behaviours that the device can do in a virtual enviroment without spending time to test it manually on a complete instrument.

All of the part of the codes are written in Python.

We have various tasks in this topic:

• device handling with Tango Controls (part of the lab to learn Tango Controls)
• 3d collision detection and object handling
• 3d visualization of the devices
• simulator api in which the test suites can run different commands on the virtual enviroment
• test suite structure and case writing
