Abstract
Some embodiments are directed to a surgical master-slave robot for use in minimally (or reduced) invasive surgery on a subject. The robot includes an instrument manipulator for mounting of a surgical instrument, and a linkage system for moveably suspending the instrument manipulator. A first linkage component is configured for guiding a first suspension to move along a first movement trajectory. A second linkage component is configured for guiding a second suspension point to move along a second movement trajectory. The first movement trajectory and the second movement trajectory differ and are selected to provide a combined translational and rotational movement of the instrument manipulator which moves the instrument manipulator along a predefined trajectory from a surgical position to a standby position. The robot may provide a stable removal of the instrument manipulator during a surgery as well as sufficient surgeon's workspace after the removal of the instrument manipulator.
