In this paper, we highlight promising technologies in each phase of a robotic neurosurgery operation, and identify key factors affecting how quickly these technologies will mature into products in the operating room. We focus on specific technology trends in image-guided cranial and spinal procedures, including advances in imaging, machine learning, robotics, and novel interfaces. For each technology, we discuss the required effort to overcome safety or implementation challenges, as well as identifying example regulatory approved products in related fields for comparison. The goal is to provide a roadmap for clinicians as to which robotic and automation technologies are in the developmental pipeline, and which ones are likely to impact their practice sooner, rather than later.
