Kinematic Analysis for a Prostate Biopsy Parallel Robot Using Study Parameters

The paper presents the forward kinematics computation for a parallel robotic system designed for prostate biopsy using Study parameters. The manipulator is analyzed on its smaller kinematic chains to facilitate the computation, in a way that no information is lost from the robotic system functionality. Kinematic solutions examples are presented based on numerical values given for the robot geometric parameters and active joint position.
