FEDER SurgiSoft (2026-2028)

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) offers key benefits—less trauma, faster recovery, and fewer complications—but remains technically challenging. Flexible surgical instruments must navigate deformable, frictional anatomical pathways safely. Surgical robotics and digital twins hold great promise for MIS but require simulation tools that are both accurate and real-time. This project aims to develop a real-time simulation platform for surgical robotics, enabling precise modeling and control of flexible devices interacting with organs such as intestines and blood vessels.
