description This paper presents the development of a 6-DOF (Degrees of Freedom) parallel robot for single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS). The concept of the robotic system is developed with respect to a medical protocol designed by the medical experts in the team targeting a SILS procedure in urology. The kinematic model of the robotic system was defined to determine the singularities that may occur during functioning. FEM analyses were performed to determine the components of the robotic structure that may compromise the rigidity of the robotic system, and these components were redesigned and integrated into the final design of the robot. To verify the kinematic model a series of numerical and graphical simulations were performed, while to test the functionality of the robotic system, a low-cost experimental model was developed. The accuracy of the experimental model was measured using an optical motion tracking system.
