Area of Science:

Robotics
Ophthalmology
Medical Engineering

Background:

Millions of patients lack access to eye surgery due to surgeon shortages.
Medical robots offer a potential solution to bridge this gap in surgical expertise.
Minimally invasive techniques are crucial for reducing patient recovery times and improving surgical safety.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and evaluate a novel parallel robot for ophthalmic surgery.
To design a robot with a remote center of motion for enhanced surgical maneuverability.
To assess the robot's performance characteristics for potential clinical application.

Main Methods:

Development of a novel parallel robot prototype with a remote center of motion.
Kinematic modeling, singularity, and workspace analyses were performed.
Experimental testing evaluated the robot's mobility, accuracy, precision, and stiffness.

Main Results:

The prototype robot demonstrated successful execution of required surgical motions.
Measured precision ranged from 7 ± 2 μm to 30 ± 8 μm.
Stiffness values ranged from 1.22 ± 0.39 N/mm to 10.53 ± 5.18 N/mm, meeting design requirements.

Conclusions:

The developed robot shows significant potential for minimally invasive eye surgery.
Robot stiffness is adequate for surgical tasks.
Further enhancements in accuracy and precision are necessary for clinical viability.
