Bionaut Labs is a clinical-stage medical robotics company headquartered in Los Angeles, California, developing "Bionauts" — remote-controlled, magnetically steered microscale robots roughly the size of a grain of rice that travel through tissue to deliver drugs, biologics and nucleic acids directly to targets deep in the brain and central nervous system. Founded in 2016 by CEO Michael Shpigelmacher, the company is pursuing treatments for malignant glioma, Dandy-Walker syndrome, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease, and has raised more than $80 million from investors including Khosla Ventures. Its product is a therapeutic device and navigation platform regulated as a medical device, not software sold to developers: Bionaut Labs operates no public API, developer portal, SDK or machine-readable contract of any kind.
Bionaut Labs is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Medical Devices, Robotics, Healthcare, and Biotechnology.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Health regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/bionaut-labs: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

detail: Bionaut Labs builds a magnetically steered micro-robot drug-delivery device regulated as a medical device, and its
entire website now serves the same 790-byte logo placeholder for every path — /newsroom, /team/*, /.well-known/* and /openapi.json
all return byte-identical HTML to a nonsense control path — so there is no developer surface, and no documentation surface
at all, to read.
