Innovative development of surgical parallel robots

201 Abstract —One of the pioneer fields for robots is their assimilation in surgery, especially in minimally invasive procedures which aim the treatment of a disease with minimum damage to healthy tissue and suffering for the patient. The paper presents a new parallel robot used as base module for surgical instruments positioning, which was developed on the customized demands of the Operating Room. The parallel mechanism structural synthesis, its geometric and kinematic models for speeds and accelerations are presented. Some simulation results are illustrated at the end of the paper.
