The client, Dr. Nathaniel Brooks, has requested that an intravenous catheter with steering capabilities be designed. Steering is suggested to be achieved through smart materials in such a way that the tip of the catheter be can steered through the endovascular system. The prototype designed must be biocompatible, precise, and accurate as intravenous procedures are invasive and delicate.
