Neuralink today unveiled its next-generation surgical robot. It's able to insert threads into the brain in 1.5 seconds vs 17 seconds in their previous gen surgical robot. This new surgical robot is also now compatible with 99% of the global human population. They've also increased the depth the needle... show more

Funny how Elons companies all works in magnitude of improvement per iterations @elonmusk

Nave1 year ago

Still till this day I find nerualink as his most impressive/mind blowing (no pun intended) company/work. Coming from a huge Tesla guy. Neuralink can have unbelievable impacts on humanity if successful.

This is exactly why rapid iteration matters. When you're pushing boundaries in tech, going from 17 seconds to 1.5 seconds isn't just an improvement ➡️ it's a total paradigm shift.

Elon says he want's to be useful, so why are we holding him back? We should be giving him (and his companies) all the tax-breaks, resources and support that we have, since yesterday. He is not going to live forever! He needs our support now! 🫶 🇺🇸

Elon is going to put doctors out of business.

Wow.. how nuch cheaper and simpler would it be 15yrs from now.

I don't think people realize the capacity of this technology this is bigger than anything Tesla or SpaceX.

⚡️After the export of drones, the sale of gas turbines, and the maintenance of passenger planes, now Iran and Russia agree to jointly produce a remote surgical robot. The surgical robot is supposed to be produced in Iran in semi-assembled form and exported to Russia

NEURALINK JUST MADE A MAJOR SURGERY BREAKTHROUGH Neuralink has updated its surgical procedure and completely removed a key step. Instead of removing the dura (the tough protective membrane around the brain), the implant threads now go directly through the dura without needing to take it out. This change makes the surgery: • Less invasive • Faster • Safer • Much easier to scale to more patients

A ROBOT REPLACED THE HUMAN WHO DRAWS YOUR BLOOD. AND IT’S ALREADY INSIDE EUROPEAN HOSPITALS. THE MACHINE, CALLED ALETTA, USES AI-POWERED ULTRASOUND TO FIND YOUR VEIN, INSERT THE NEEDLE, DRAW BLOOD, REMOVE THE NEEDLE, AND APPLY THE BANDAGE — ALL BY ITSELF. NO HUMAN HANDS. 98% OF PATIENTS SAID THEY WOULD DO IT AGAIN. THERE ARE ROUGHLY 130,000 PHLEBOTOMISTS IN THE U.S. NOW THEIR JOB IS DIRECTLY IN THE CROSSHAIRS OF AI + ROBOTICS. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY WILD.

Neuralink implant is a hardware upgrade that sits flush with the skull, replacing a small piece of bone with a battery-powered Bluetooth device "This Neuralink device has a battery, Bluetooth, and an inductive charger. Then, you've also got to insert the electrodes The electrodes are very carefully inserted with a robot that we developed. It is very carefully putting in the electrodes and avoiding any veins or arteries, so it doesn't create trauma It's basically implanted in your skull. It would be flush with your skull, so you basically take out a chunk of skull and replace it with the Neuralink device You insert the electrode threads very carefully into the brain, stitch it up, and you wouldn't even know that somebody has it"

XPeng's all-new generation humanoid robot, IRON, not only achieves an extreme level of anthropomorphism but also possesses a "brain" that can think like a human. This will be a significant competitor to $TSLA's Optimus v3 when both robots enter mass production in 2026. ✅ IRON is the humanoid robot with the highest computing power in the world, equipped with the second-generation VLA and 3 Turing AI chips, it builds a high-level combination of capabilities—VLT + VLA + VLM—for its "cerebrum" and "cerebellum." This allows it to achieve advanced intelligence like dialogue, walking, and interaction. ✅ It is the industry's first application of all-solid-state batteries, achieving extreme lightweighting, ultra-high energy density, and ultimate safety. ✅ XPeng also introduced robot active safety protection to maximize the safety of participants in the physical AI world, and expanded the "Fourth Law," ensuring privacy data never leaves the robot.

ELON: BRAIN-CONTROLLED ROBOT LEGS ARE ON THE WAY "What we can do is use a Neuralink implant that takes signals from the motor cortex of the brain and also receives signals from the somatosensory cortex. Then give someone who’s lost their legs Optimus' legs. And so you’d be, I mean, we’re really getting like The 6 Million Dollar Man here, from back in the day. And we can actually give someone superhuman cyborg capabilities, like The 6 Million Dollar Man, for less than $6M, even in this day and age. I mean, $6M back then was a fortune. These days, it’s like nothing. But for much less than that, I mean, for something that would be reasonably affordable, it might be more like a $60,000-type thing. And you can take signals from Neuralink, the mind, that would be transmitting to the legs, and transmit those to the attached Optimus robot legs. And you would actually be able to run faster than a human. Just like The Six Million Dollar Man." Source: Elon Musk, Baron Capital, Ron Baron, Neuralink

Neuralink’s new approach inserts ultra-thin electrode threads directly through the intact dura and into the cortex....without cutting the dura open This is a huge surgical milestone The dura is the tough protective membrane covering the brain. Normally, reaching the cortex means cutting through that layer....one of the most delicate steps in brain surgery This could make BCI surgery: • Less invasive • More precise • More repeatable • Easier to scale • Safer for future patients The participant was controlling a cursor with their thoughts within an hour of surgery, with recovery progressing as expected This is a major step toward bringing brain-computer interfaces to people who have lost the ability to move, communicate, or interact with the world normally

🤯incredible,its playability and usability are outstanding. Tron2 is a LEGO robot. It can be assembled into various forms depending on the scenario, including bipedal, wheeled, and humanoid torso configurations, and its end effectors are also interchangeable. Each form of the robot is driven by a VLA model. It can perform complex movements and can also be integrated into existing workflows to perform tasks. It's worth mentioning that this solves the problem of which type of humanoid robot to use. Each user can assemble the robot in a configuration that suits their specific scenario, making it truly flexible and versatile – it doesn't necessarily have to be bipedal or wheeled... I look forward to seeing more real-world use cases.

Another new humanoid robot is here. This headless humanoid robot is called Calvin-40. It is the first industrial humanoid robot developed by the French company Wandercraft. It is human-sized and voice-controlled. It is mainly used in manufacturing factories, but can also be used for medical care. It is worth mentioning that its hands can switch to end effectors such as suction cups, grippers, and dexterous hands to adapt to the needs.

New York school district to become one of the first in the United States to introduce a humanoid robot in the classroom. 'Sally' will have a Western New York accent and will teach 11th and 12th-grade students at Salamanca High School. Sally costs less than the average teacher's salary in New York, with a price tag of $57,000. The robot has brown hair, and can move its arms and legs, but will not be able to walk around the classroom. Students will be able to log in so the humanoid can recognize students and their previous interactions. The humanoid will be helping teach coding, robotics, and AI classes. The school district promises that robots will "never" replace human teachers. ‘Sally’ is made by Realbotix, which also produces "companion" robots. What are we doing here?

Elon Musk on the possibilities offered by the combination of Optimus and Neuralink: “Long term is to say, if you take parts of the Optimus humanoid robot and you combine that with a Neuralink, let's say somebody has lost their arms or legs. Well, we could actually attach an Optimus arm or Optimus legs and do a Neuralink implant so that the motor commands from your brain that would go to your biological arms, now go to your robot arms or robot legs. And again, you'd have basically Cybernetics Superpowers.”

Elon Musk: In the future, you'll be able to inhabit an Optimus robot. “As we advance the Neuralink devices, you should be able to actually have full body control and sensors from an Optimus robot. So, you could basically inhabit an Optimus robot. Not just the hand, the whole thing. So you could basically mentally remote into an Optimus robot and it'll be kind of cool. The future is going to be weird, but pretty cool.” Neuralink presentation, June 27, 2025
