Title
Finite element method stiffness analysis of a novel telemanipulator for minimally invasive surgery
Abstract
AbstractThis paper presents the concept of a novel telemanipulator for minimally invasive surgery, along with numerical analysis to validate the main system performance. The proposed kinematic structure consists of a passive and an active module. The passive module is similar to the Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm - SCARA robot. The active module is based on a parallelogram mechanism. The results of the numerical study are discussed, focusing on the influence of geometry parameters of the kinematic chain on the displacement accuracy of the end-effector. In particular, the paper deals with the identification of the main factors that impact the position accuracy of the robot.
