Sumario:This project presents a prototype of an advanced system for the execution of craniotomies in small rodents. A neural network has been used as a calibration tool, refining it by means of an automatic semi-calibration process based on autonomous contour detection by means of advanced computer vision techniques. A user-friendly interface has been developed with several functionalities for the start-up and use of the system. The results show a high accuracy of the trajectories on the desired contours.
