Top Story: AI-Enhanced Surgical Robots Are Moving from “Assistive” to “Cognitive” Systems
Why it matters: Modern neurosurgical robots are no longer just mechanical arms for trajectory guidance. AI-driven systems now integrate real-time imaging, anatomical recognition, and motion correction, enabling higher precision in spine instrumentation, stereotactic biopsies, DBS, and tumor resections. The next leap is semi-autonomous execution of subtasks, reducing fatigue and variability.


đź§  2) Imaging in Neurosurgery
