1. A system for assisting a surgeon in the context of surgical operations, the system comprising:
a mobile wearable computer adapted to be worn or carried by a user of the system,
at least one perception sensor for collecting anatomical and/or instrumental measurement data in an operating scene,
a processor adapted to process the collected anatomical and/or instrumental measurement data collected by the at least one perception sensor,
a memory connected to the processor and adapted to store anatomical and/or instrumental measurement data,
a robotic effector connected to the wearable computer and adapted to carrying an instrument,
wherein the wearable computer is connected to the at least one perception sensor, to the memory, and to the processor, and
wherein movements of the robotic effector are slaved to the anatomical and/or instrumental measurement data, wherein the anatomical and/or instrumental data delimit an area of action within which the movements of the robotic arm are restricted in the operating scene.
 
19. A non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium on which is stored program comprising navigation instructions for controlling a system for assisting a surgeon in the context of surgical operations, the system comprising:
a mobile wearable computer adapted to be worn or carried by a user of the system,
at least one perception sensor for collecting anatomical and/or instrumental measurement data in an operating scene,
a processor adapted to process the collected anatomical and/or instrumental measurement data collected by the at least one perception sensor,
a memory connected to the processor and adapted to store anatomical and/or instrumental measurement data,
a robotic effector connected to the processor and adapted to carrying an instrument,
wherein the wearable computer is connected to the at least one perception sensor and to the memory,
wherein the program is adapted, when the program is run on a computer, to control an operation of the system to implement a slaving of the movements of the robotic effector to the anatomical and/or instrumental measurement data, wherein the anatomical and/or instrumental data delimit an area of action within which the movements of the robotic arm are restricted in the operating scene.
