A micro-robotic platform and a method for deploying the platform in a body cavity for performing endoluminal surgical interventions in a fully bimanual fashion. The platform comprises a first (1) and a second (2) surgical robot each provided with a surgical tool (5, 6) and being configured to be attached to the body cavity wall. The first and the second surgical robot each comprises a first (11) and a second (12) snake-like robotic unit, the first snake-like robotic unit (11) comprising a first central unit (13) and first articulated attachment means (7a, b; 8a, b; 9) extending from said first central unit (13) for attaching the first central unit to the body cavity wall. The second snake-like robotic unit (12) comprises a second central unit (14), second articulated attachment means (7c; 8c; 9) for attaching the second central unit to the body cavity wall and an articulated arm (3, 4) bearing the surgical tool (5, 6), the second articulated attachment means and the articulated arm extending from the second central unit. Releasable connection means (15) are provided on the first and second central units (13, 14) to connect the first central unit to the second central unit releasably to form each of the first and second surgical robot within the body cavity deployed in such a way to allow a surgical procedure to be performed in a true bimanual way.
