Kinematic Analysis of a Parallel Robot for Minimally Invasive Surgery
摘要
The paper presents the kinematic modelling for the coupled motion of a 6-DOF surgical parallel robot PARA-SILSROB which guides a mobile platform carrying the surgical instruments, and the actuators of the sub-modules which hold these tools. To increase the surgical procedure safety, a closed form solution for the kinematic model is derived and then, the forward and inverse kinematic models for the mobile orientation platform are obtained. The kinematic models are used in numerical simulations for the reorientation of the endoscopic camera, which imposes an automated compensatory motion from the active instruments’ modules.
