Saroa is the world’s first minimally invasive surgical assist robot that successfully reproduces sense of force.
Using flexible and delicate air pressure control, Saroa allows the user to directly perceive the sense of force.
This enables the operator to perform procedures with almost the same level of sensation as if they were conducting the surgery with their own fingers, even in remote operation scenarios.
Feature | Haptic Feedback
Estimating the force feedback applied to the forceps.
Feature | Lightweight and compact design
By adopting pneumatic drive, Saroa achieved a lightweight and compact design. This makes it easy to move between operating rooms and within the facility, allowing for more flexible operation.
Feature | Safety design
The Saroa’s arm operates with pneumatic control, which is Riverfield’s core technology, to achieve delicate and soft movements. It can absorb the load on the patient caused by the machine’s inherent stiffness, enabling safe surgical operations.
