Neuralink ontwikkelt chirurgische robot voor snellere hersenimplantaten

Back to overview

Neuralink has developed a specialized surgical robot to automate brain implant procedures, enhancing safety and scalability of its brain-computer interface technology. The robot uses eight cameras and OCT scanners to precisely handle ultra-thin threads thinner than human hair, while surgeons oversee the process. A recent procedural refinement allows the robot to bypass removing the brain's outer lining, reducing surgery time and infection risk. With $650 million in recent funding, Neuralink is transitioning from experimental trials toward large-scale manufacturing of mind-controlled
