Most precision brain surgery is done with robotic assist , but there ’s one position robots ca n’t go : inside MRI brain scanners . Enter the neuroArm , a automaton specially designed to work inside the potent attracter of an MRI — and channelize by the detailed picture the MRI create . Developed by surgeon and robotics experts at University of Calgary , the neuroArm combine the good of telepresence surgery with the best imaging technology . But how do you create a advanced automaton , with delicate actuator , that can withstand being destroy by a jumbo magnet ? We ’ve got the answer , and cool videos of the branch in military action , below .
Here ’s an artist ’s rendering of a person undergoing mentality surgery inside an MRI machine . Now sawbones can channelise the robotic arm with even more preciseness , seeing just where each surgical tool run low as it enter your grey matter . So what is the robotic sleeve made of ? Check out what the roboticists and surgeons who construct it have to say in this picture . And here ’s another picture of neuroArm , the brainiac surgery automaton . Yup , it ’s just obviously cool .
