Robotic surgery is the future of surgery, the world over. Recent advances in equipment and surgical techniques have made minimally invasive surgery popular and one of the most effective technique in several fields of surgery. It has several advantages over standard surgical approaches, including Rapid recovery, Lower rate of post-operative infection, Decreased pain, Better postoperative immune function and Cosmetic results. Continuing with the trend, robotics-assisted surgery has gained popularity in several surgical specialties globally, and many institutions are investing in medical robotic technology for applications in various specialities. This new and exciting technology is shown and proven to have better or comparable outcomes and can be cost-effective in the long run when compared with conventional surgical approaches. 

Recognising the increasing need to consolidate the field and to promote awareness and continue educational research in the field of robotics, seven like minded robotic surgeons grouped together and decided to establish the society, “Association of Robotic and Innovative Surgeons” (ARIS), to facilitate the dispersal of this emerging field of surgical technology world over. Thus, ARIS was born in April 2022 as a body to look into the demand of surgeons of various specialities and to keep themselves abreast with the recent advances and to promote the growth and spread of newer disruptive technologies among the fellow colleagues. Later, ARIS was expanded to have zonal executive and invited members to support the cause of developing the speciality.
