Brain surgery can become safer and less mob
A French startup named Robeauté just raised about $ 29 million to really develop a neurological surgical microbut.
Imagine a device whose size is not more than a grain of rice that can carefully navigate the complex and sensitive paths of the brain.
This small robot can change the way doctors treat brain tumors and other neurological conditions, making surgeries safer and more accurate than ever.

Permits of brain surgery today
Brain surgery is incredibly complex. The surgeons who use it today are often rigid and can only move in straight lines. This limits where they can work safely. Many tumors or problematic areas in the brain are simply fraught with very risky because they are located near the areas responsible for critical functions such as movement or speech.
In some cases, surgeons have no choice but to leave tumors without treatment because the risk of damage is very high. Moreover, many medications cannot reach certain parts of the brain due to the blood barrier in the brain, leaving patients with limited treatment options.

How Microbot works
Microbot Robeauté It is designed to overcome these challenges. It is incredibly small, its length is about three millimeters, the size of the rice is approximately, and the brain enters through a small incision with a millimeter width. Unlike traditional tools, this robot does not move in straight lines. Instead, it can follow curved paths, and gently push the brain tissue as it goes. Silicon rings used at the end of them to carefully convert tissue without causing damage. This movement is inspired by how to walk on small insects on the water, using adhesion forces that dominate such small scales.
Inside the robot, there is a small room with miniature surgical tools. For example, when conducting a biopsy, Microbot uses a flexible needle and small tissue collection. These samples can be stored inside the device or pulled again via a robot cable. Outside of biopships, the robot can also plant electrodes for conditions such as Parkinson’s disease or connect medications directly to the tumors. It even contains sensors that send information in the actual time to the surgeons, which helps them closely monitor the procedure.
What is really impressive is how the robot path is planned. Using magnetic resonance surveying operations along with artificial intelligence, surgeons can set safe methods that avoid sensitive brain areas. During surgery, they can adjust the real -time robot position using an ultrasound installed on the skull, and achieve a sub -millimeter accuracy.

We look forward to the future: future experiences and plans
To date, Microbot has been tested in pre -clinical experiences, especially on sheep, with very promising results. There were no significant complications such as bleeding, indicating that the device can safely navigate brain tissue. Robeauté plans to start human clinical trials in 2026, focusing on facing tumors in the brain. It also aims to expand the American market and search for the approval of the FDA, in the hope of international launch by 2030.

Why this technology is important
The potential effect of this huge microbot. Doctors can be allowed to diagnose brain tumors early and treat them more effectively while reducing the risks associated with traditional surgery. Because there is a minimum, patients can experience faster recovery and lower side effects. In addition, the ability to collect live data from within the brain can accelerate research and develop medications for neurological degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson.

Microbot’s Robeauté represents an exciting mixture of robots, artificial intelligence, biology and medicine. It deals with one of the most difficult health care challenges: how to arrive safely and treat brain. Although there are still obstacles to overcoming them, such as regulatory approvals and manufacturing on a large scale, this small device has the ability to convert “formerly non -operational” brain tumors into treatment conditions. As one of the founders of the company describes it, Microbot works like a “gardener of the brain”, accurately tends to damaged tissues from the inside. With strong funding and an increasing group of patents, Robeauté is preparing to make a permanent effect on the future of nerve surgery.
