Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Front view of the Craniobot which consists of a three-axis CNC mill, a custom built stereotax, and a high-speed spindle. Scale bar, 5 cm. (b) Back view of the Craniobot showing three stepper motors and control electronics including a motor controller, a microcontroller, and a switching circuit. Scale bar, 5 cm. (c) Photographs of the custom built stereotax. Detailed step-by-step instructions on assembling the CNC mill and adapting it for automated surgeries is shown in Supplementary Figure 1. Scale bars in c and bottom inset, 5 cm and 1 cm, respectively. (d) Photograph and computer-aided design (CAD) schematic of the custom-built surface profiler indicating the key parts. Scale bar, 10 mm. Detailed step-by-step instructions on assembling the surface profiler is shown in Supplementary Figure 2.
