this paper presents a new robot for eye surgeries, referred to as DIAMOND. It consists of a spherical mechanism that has a remote center of motion (RCM) point and is capable of orienting the surgical instrument about this unique point. Using the RCM as the insertion point of the surgery instruments makes the robot suitable for minimally invasive surgery applications. DIAMOND has two pairs of identical spherical serial limbs that form a closed kinematic chain leading to high stiffness. The spherical structure of the mechanism is compatible with the human head and the robot may perform the surgery upon the head without any collision with the patient. Furthermore, dexterity and having a compact size is taken into account in the mechanical design of the robot. The workspace of the robot is a complete singularity free sphere that covers the region needed for any eye surgeries. In this paper, a comparison between different types of existing eye surgery robots is presented, the structure of the mechanism is described in detail and kinematic analysis of the robot is investigated.
