The SARAS project
"SARAS aims at developing the next-generation of surgical robotic systems that will allow a single surgeon to execute Robotic Minimally Invasive Surgery (R-MIS) without the need of an expert assistant surgeon.
SARAS Technology
SARAS proposes an innovative technological system:
1. Two assistive robotic arms designed to implement the tasks done by the assistant surgeon in R-MIS (Robotic Minimally Invasive Surgery).
2. A cooperative and cognitive supervisor system able to infer the actual state of the surgical procedure from the sensing system and to act accordingly with the surgeon’s needs.

SARAS platforms
1. MULTIROBOTS-SURGERY: the main surgeon uses a robotic
system, the assistant surgeon tele-operates the SARAS assistive robotic
arms.
2. SOLO-SURGERY: the system is autonomous and plays the role of the assistant in the R-MIS
3. LAPARO2.0-SURGERY: SARAS system plays the role of the assistant and the main surgeon uses standard laparoscopic tools.

SARAS Ambition
SARAS will lead to a new generation of autonomous surgical robots.
SARAS will go beyond any existing system for R-MIS, leveraging on a ground-breaking artificial intelligence module.
The aim is to develop a cognitive robotic system capable of autonomously understanding the present and future surgical situation, and performing actions at the right place and time.

The aim is to develop a cognitive robotic system capable of autonomously understanding the present and future surgical situation, and performing actions at the right place and time.
SARAS platform is designed to both complement any existing and
future surgical robotic system and to be used alone for traditional
laparoscopic operations performed in solo surgery mode.
The aims are to decrease the cost per surgical operation, increase the number of interventions, reduce waiting lists and boost efficiency of Healthcare system across Europe.
