Abstract

Currently, robots can replicate artificial limbs with high precision. Various electrode implantation methods have been proposed to give users more control over prosthetic limbs, which differ in the way signals are transmitted inside and outside the body. However, the inevitable disadvantage of these methods is that they interact with the surrounding environment, resulting in decreased implant effectiveness and longevity. To overcome this problem, the application of tissue engineering in the integration of neural tissue with electrodes has been explored as an alternative source of the recording. Using hydrogel polymers as inks for 3D printing can reduce the degree of foreign body response to a certain extent. This paper reviews some representative neuroprosthetic interfacing strategies and the common disadvantages. In conjunction, this paper also investigates the applicability of 3D bioprinting in tissue engineering. By simulating the 3D printing of manipulators on complex surfaces in different ways, it can be concluded that robotic 3D printing technology can be applied in neural interface surgery and alleviate the possibility of current neural interface problems.
