10 robots for cranial neurosurgery on the market or in the works – AI in Healthcare

NeuroArm | Open surgical maneuvers (scalable in amplitude and speed). Role: Telesurgery. Can execute microsurgical movements on behalf of the primary surgeon, potentially with fine motor augmentation (scalable movements, tremor filter). Prototype built and successfully used clinically, but not commercially available.

Neuromate | Floor-mounted robotic arm to align and maintain linear trajectory. Role: Frameless stereotaxis with semiautomated targeting. For endoscopy, can function as a surgical assistant (retraction, lighting, correlation of location with navigation). Commercially available (Renishaw).

ROSA | Floor-mounted robotic arm to align and maintain linear trajectory. Role: Frameless stereotaxis with semiautomated targeting. For endoscopy, can function as a surgical assistant (retraction, lighting, correlation of location with navigation). Commercially available (Zimmer Biomet).

Stealth Autoguide | Mayfield clamp-mounted robotic arm to align and maintain linear trajectory. Role: Frameless stereotaxis with semiautomated targeting. Commercially available (Medtronic).

SurgiScope | Ceiling-mounted surgical microscope capable of frameless robotic stereotaxis. Role: Can be used for frameless stereotaxis with semiautomated targeting. Commercially available (ISIS Robotics).
