    A little common sense will tell you that drilling skull requires far more precision and skill than drilling holes in the wall. Harvard research team has addressed a major shortcoming of the traditional drilling devices used to penetrate the skull. These devices require very high precision while drilling the brain because even a small damage to the brain could be fatal. Such type of drilling requires neurosurgical training to know when to 'stop' and how deep to go.

    The Harvard developed drill machine knows exactly when to stop. As soon as it's done drilling, the drill retracts to its protective casing.
