Cyber Surgery is excited to introduce the SAURON Project (Comprehensive Intelligence System for Autonomous Robotic Surgeries with User-Centred Technologies), an ambitious initiative that focuses on advancing the future of robotic surgery by integrating artificial intelligence, automation, and user-centered technologies.
This project is being developed in collaboration with Vicomtech and is supported by the Hazitek Program. It is also co-funded by the Basque Government and the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for the period of 2021–2027. The project is scheduled to run from April 2025 to December 2027.
SAURON aims to transform how robotic surgeries are planned, executed, and recorded by making them more autonomous and intelligent. Through AI-driven solutions, SAURON will autonomously plan surgical procedures, reduce manual intervention, and minimize radiation exposure. These improvements will increase the precision and efficiency of surgeries, ensuring better patient outcomes.
Key milestones of the project include:
- Automated planning: Empowering surgical robots to plan procedures autonomously.
- Machine Learning & Data Analysis: Using AI to improve surgical decision-making processes.
- Collaborative Robotic Architectures: Developing systems where multiple robotic units collaborate to enhance surgical outcomes.
- Intraoperative Registration Automation: Reducing the need for manual input during surgery and cutting down on radiation exposure.
As the project progresses, SAURON will transform robotic surgery into a more autonomous and intelligent process, improving surgical efficiency and patient safety. Together, we’re redefining the future of surgery.
