Graphical simulation of a new concept of low sized surgical parallel robot for camera guidance in minimally invasive surgery

Abstract

Abstract Robotic systems have been developed in every field where a further progress was constricted due to the human limitations in terms of speed, precision, fatigue, repeatability, strength, safety etc. 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 [1], [2]. The paper presents a complex simulation system used for the study of the characteristics of a new low sized parallel robot used for minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
