Coordinated project between Universidad de Málaga (UMA), Universidad Miguel Hernandez de Elche (UMH) and Universidad de Valladolid (UVa).

The general objective of this project focuses on the development of technologies for providing a robotic assistant for laparoscopic liver surgery with skills for helping in the resolution of bleeding events that occur during surgery, as well as the management of both an intraoperative ultrasound probe and the endoscope. All these functionalities will be integrated and validated under a cognitive scheme.

the following specific objectives are defined:

• SO1: Design and development of task planning methodologies based on a cognitive architecture, with supervisory capabilities, that coordinates human-robot collaboration during liver resection.

• SO2: Design and development of methods for the construction of a personalised digital liver twin for each patient.

• SO3: Design and development of real-time trajectory generation strategies using intraoperative imaging and position-force feedback for interaction with deformable tissues.

• SO4: Implementation of a demonstrator that integrates all the techniques developed during this project.
