我们描述了神经外科机器人密涅瓦（Minerva）的研发及其临床应用方法，包括机器人的机械结构以及为精确、平稳且安全地进行颅内神经外科手术而开发的软件。已对需要立体定向脑活检的患者进行了前八例手术。我们阐述了正在进行的研发进展，包括改进的消毒特性、力传感器、非线性电刺激探头以及活性封装细胞的植入，所有这些都已进入测试阶段。目标是提高安全性以及进行简单三维操作的能力。这项研究应该为如今手动难以完成的新型复杂手术铺平道路。
We describe the development and approach to clinical application of the neurosurgical robot Minerva, including the mechanical structure of the robot and the software developed to perform intracranial neurosurgical operations with accuracy, smoothness, and safety. The first eight operations have been undertaken on patients requiring stereotactic brain biopsy. We describe the ongoing developments, including improved sterilization features, force sensors, nonlinear electrostimulation probe, and implantation of living encapsulated cells, all of which have entered a test phase. The goals are increased safety and capability to perform simple three-dimensional operations. This research should ease the way for new complex operations that are difficult to perform manually today.
