The Future Has Reached the Present In Neurosurgery: How Brain Navi Redefines Surgical Navigation Robotics —Game-Changing Advantages of NaoTrac
Today’s neurosurgical navigation systems face critical limitations that continue to challenge surgeons and OR teams alike. From slow workflows to registration inaccuracies, these pain points can directly impact surgical precision and patient safety.
NaoTrac is a premium surgical navigation robot designed to overcome these limitations. By integrating machine vision, robotic automation, and an AI-driven algorithm, NaoTrac improves the consistency and efficiency of neurosurgical interventions while maintaining full surgeon control.
We’ll walk through NaoTrac’s features in detail and explore how Brain Navi is setting a new standard in neurosurgical navigation.
OR Deployment – Every inch of space in the OR matters.
Space in the OR is always critical for surgeons.
NaoTrac improves accessibility and minimizes the limitation of operating angle while proceeding with surgical navigation. It can be positioned based on the lesion, surrounding equipment, and even the surgeon’s preferred workflow.
More room to operate, faster setup, and a smoother surgical experience—all without compromising precision.
Surgical Pathway Planning — Intuitive and surgeon-friendly.
Complex interface design isn’t the thing for surgeons to deal with in the OR.
NaoTrac is designed with simplicity in mind—surgeons can plan the surgical pathway by simply following clear green indicators on the interface. With just a few clicks, a precise and reliable surgical plan is created, minimizing setup time and allowing the surgical team to be prepared.
Patient Positioning – Challenging-to-reach lesions are no longer a limitation.
Based on the location of the lesion and the needs of the procedure, surgeons are able to choose the most suitable patient position.
NaoTrac’s adaptable design supports all standard lying positions —whether supine, prone, or lateral— allowing seamless integration into various surgical approaches, even in extremely narrow or challenging-to-reach places.
Patient Registration – Fast, accurate, and hassle-free.
As one of the most critical steps in the preoperative process, patient registration must be both precise and efficient.
NaoTrac leverages advanced machine vision technology to automatically register the patient, significantly reducing setup time and eliminating the need for additional invasive steps. Using our facial recognition system, it captures over 300,000 facial landmarks—delivering high standard registration accuracy to ensure optimal surgical precision in just seconds.
Surgical Instrument Registration– Use the surgical tools that surgeons know best.
Surgeons can continue using the tools they’re already familiar with and confident in.
NaoTrac offers an open-platform design with standard instrument diameters, giving surgeons and hospitals the flexibility to use their preferred surgical tools.
Reaching the Target Point – Just follow the plan.
Guided by the pre-planned surgical pathway, NaoTrac’s robotic arm—under the full supervision of the surgeon—accurately assists in reaching the surgical instrument into the defined target area.
This precise execution supports safer, more consistent outcomes while keeping the surgeon in full control throughout the procedure.
The field of surgical navigation robotics is still evolving, with new technologies emerging to meet the growing demands of precision, efficiency, and surgeon-friendly design. Amid this rapidly advancing landscape, Brain Navi has established a new standard—bringing together the core features that today’s surgical teams truly need. With the integration of advanced machine vision, AI-powered planning, robotic precision, and a streamlined user interface, NaoTrac offers a practical and forward-thinking solution. It’s designed not just to enhance surgical performance, but to align with the realities and demands of modern neurosurgical practice.
