Abstract
Despite the location (Earth or Space), surgical simulation is a vital part of improving
technical skills and ensuring patients' safety in the real procedure. The purpose of this
study is to describe the Space System for Minimally Invasive Surgery (SY-MIS©)
project, which started in 2016 under the supervision of the Center for Space Systems (C-
SET). The process connects the best features of the following machines: Biomedik
Surgeon, Space Biosurgeon, SP-LAP 1, and SP-LAP 2, which were defined using the
VDI 2221 guidelines. This research uses methods based on 3 standards: i) Biomedical
design: ISO 9001-13485 / FDA 21 CFR 820.30 / ASTM F1744-96(2016); ii) Aerospace
human factors: HF-STD-001; iii) Mechatronics design: VDI 2206. The results depict the
conceptual biomedical design of a novel training system named Surgical Engineering and
Mechatronic System (SETY©), which integrates the use of 2 laparoscopic tools and 2
anthropomorphic mini-robotic arms (6 DOF). It has been validated by the Evaluation of
Technical Criteria, getting a total score of 90% related to clinical assessment, machine
adaptability, and robustness. The novelty of the research lies in the introduction of a new
procedure that covers the simultaneous use of laparoscopic and robotic systems, named
Hybrid Cyber-Physical Surgery (HYS©). In conclusion, the development of SY-MIS©
promotes the use of advanced technologies to improve surgical procedures and human-
machine medical cooperation for the next frontier of habitability on other planets.
