Araknes Project - Work programme

Work programme.

The key technical components that underpin ARAKNES are illustrated in Figure 01, which emphasises the development of new surgical technology based on the “Micro/nano/bio convergence”. The development of the robotic platform will go in parallel with the development of its teleoperation control system and the dedicated human machine interface. All MEMS, NEMS, sensoring devices and lab-on-chip components will be specifically developed by the different

partners or will be adapted from other fields covered by the ARAKNES Consortium. The team of clinicians will be also responsible for the medical assessment of the project results in conjunction with companies specialising in medical device validation.

Based on the outlined general strategy, the following workplan has been organized in 11 workpackages (WPs)
