{ Neurosurgical microrobots
Where Robotics Meets the Human Mind
Robeauté is pioneering a new class of therapeutic microrobots—engineered to diagnose, treat and monitor the brain with unprecedented flexibility and precision.At the convergence of robotics, physics, material science, chemistry, biology, and medicine, we are building the future of neurosurgery.Our microrobot is a modular medical device designed around a universal robotic core, equipped with interchangeable micro-extensions.This flexibility allows it to adapt to a wide range of clinical applications—from sampling tissue to delivering targeted therapies, to implanting electrodes and collecting real-time data from deep within the brain. }

It’s not yet approved for actual use.

Here’s a YT Short that describes it.

Glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer, is somewhat common in the US, with poor treatment outcomes.

That’s just one potential target for this tech.

Spinal cord injury, inoperable cancers in which the cancer is entwined into essential structures, etc, are, IMO, also targets.
How about delivery of CRSPR treatments to specific targets?

The attached YT suggests this is tech is much less invasive, with less tissue damage, than any conventional surgical techniques.

Keeping people, ie workers, healthy and productive has macroeconomic benefits.

Wow, this is very exciting! I love the way they can guide it around brain folds instead of piercing through in straight lines. But they didn’t say how they actually guide it, did they?

At 0.36 seconds, YT say it uses AI planned MRI maps and real time ultrasound to move around.

Within units smaller than 1 mm, while moving 3 mm per minute.

Yes, but how do they actually guide it in real time? Magnets? Radio signals to its tiny motor?
