In her lab petitto and her graduate students work with a special machine petitto helped design. its called the f nerves, a faster, quieter, and more portable version of an mri machine. if petitto was going to study the brains of infants she needed a way to look at them. >> this is quite an extraordinary new microscope into the brain. it also allows the baby to engage in more naturalistic behaviors. they can look, they can turn their head, they can move their hands. and this was very exciting. >>...

I remember saying in the letter, you know, you people make robots for very unusual environments. >> reporter: mcdonald detweiler and associates knows all about building robots for extreme environments. they have worked with nasa and the canadian space agency since the 1970s, and they built the canada arm 2, the robotic arm on the international space station. the aerospace engineers decided to adapt that same technology for dr. sutherlands surgical robot. but building a robot that could function ...

Makes this so unique. as lee is being prepped, so is this machine. its called the neuroarm. its a brain surgery robot, inspired by the international space station. dr. sutherland and his team had the idea to bring an mri machine into the operating room on a track. it cut down on the time required to move a patient to the room with the mri in it. but the problem was even bringing the machine into the operating room still stopped down the surgery. >> to me that was a challenge, because that disrup...
