Abstract

This paper introduces a novel kinematic of 4 d.o.fs haptic device based on Delta architecture. A fourth leg is added to the Delta structure to convert translations into rotations and to provide translation of the handle allowing 3 rotations and 1 translation of the end effector. The fourth leg is linked to the base and to the moving platform by two spherical joints. The kinematic model of the new structure, called 4haptic, is presented. The novel device has a better dexterity distribution compared with previous developped master device based on spherical parallel manipulator architecture. The 4haptic device offers a singularity free useful workspace which makes it a suitable candidate to perform tele-operated Minimally Invasive surgery.
