The 6th SMARTsurg plenary meeting was held in Marseille on 10-11 July 2019.

The partners presented the status of each task and had interactive discussions to agree on the final steps of the project.

Smart robotic assistant for minimally invasive surgery: the SMARTsurg project experience - Special Session @ MEDICON 2019

The main vision of the SMARTsurg project is to enable complex minimally invasive surgical operations by developing a novel robotic platform for assisting the surgeon in such tasks, to reduce the surgeon’s cognitive load related to the system’s operation, to shorten training time and deliver accuracy, safety, reduce procedure time and expanded applicability. The chosen application scenarios are:

• Orthopedic surgery
• Urology
• Cardiac surgery
