New paper from our lab out today @NatureProtocols : How to assemble, test and operate the Craniobot for automated cranial microsurgeries. Led by Matt Rynes, @LeilaGhanbari7, D Schulman, @sjayelle, @zahra_navabi et al. https://rdcu.be/b38ZC 
We provide detailed instructions for assembling a fully open source robotic microsurgery platform..
Several improvements from previous paper (Ghanbari Rynes et al Sci Rep 2019), including a Python based graphic user interface
Once assembled, the Craniobot can be tested and calibrated.
It can perform a variety of microsurgical procedures, and has been particularly useful in our group for performing large craniotomies for implanting transparent polymer skulls.
If you do not want to build one yourself, you can buy a fully assembled Craniobot @ http://labmaker.org : https://www.labmaker.org/collections/neuroscience/products/craniobot
Craniobot

The Craniobot is a cranial microsurgery platform that combines automated skull surface profiling with a computer numerical controlled (CNC) milling machine to perform a variety of cranial microsurg...
