Abstract
A compact medical robot provides guidance and actuation of a medical instrument with five or more degrees of freedom. The robot has a lower actuator arm movable within a lower plane. A lower gimbal mount is attached to the lower actuator arm. An upper actuator arm is movable within an upper plane and an upper gimbal mount is attached to the upper actuator arm. A guide tube is attached to the lower gimbal mount and to the upper gimbal mount. A linear actuator is attached to the guide tube to longitudinally move a medical instrument which extends through the guide tube. The linear actuator includes an actuating rod and a linear motor arranged within a main body portion of the linear actuator. An additional rotational actuator for rotating the medical instrument may be provided and firmly connected to the actuating rod.
