Researchers at the University of Basel have a vision: an individually configurable robot that will revolutionize surgical procedures and provide numerous benefits for patients. They have already taken the first steps in this direction. To further implement their vision, the Werner Siemens Foundation is now extending its funding for the “Miracle” project by CHF 12 million to a total of CHF 27 million.
