In this episode of Neurofounders Conversations, Dominic Borkelmans speaks with Bertrand Duplat, CEO and co-founder of Robeauté, about the development of surgical microrobotics and their potential applications in neuroscience and medicine.

Robeauté is initially focusing on brain biopsies, with a longer-term vision that includes localized drug delivery, neural stimulation, and brain-computer interfaces. Its approach raises new possibilities for accessing areas of the brain that are difficult to reach with conventional surgical instruments.

We discuss the engineering behind these miniature devices, how they are designed to navigate brain tissue, the challenges of developing surgical robotics, and Robeauté's roadmap toward clinical applications.
