To fulfil ethical and legal requirements SARAS project is aiming to reduce, refine and replace live animal experiments according to the 3Rs principle.

The robot motion planning is generally solved before the robot actually executes the desired motions and in case of motions that must avoid obstacles, this approach may work with static obstacles only. 

If, instead, obstacles are moving, the desired motion must be calculated in real-time, a few milliseconds before its execution.

SARAS Multirobots-Surgery is the first step toward the next generation of surgical robotic systems merging artificial intelligence, computer vision, machine learning and cognitive control for smarter and safer hospitals

Nowadays, during Robotic-Minimally Invasive Surgeries, two surgeons are needed in the operating room:

• the main surgeon, who tele-operates the robotic surgery platform,
• and the assistant surgeon, who uses laparoscopic instruments to provide support during the procedure.
