  • Abstract
    The paper addresses the analysis of forward kinematics of a 3-DOF medical parallel robot with R-P-S (Revolute-Prismatic-Spherical) joint structure using MATLAB/Simulink. Forward kinematics is solved numerically using Newton-Kantorovich (N-K) method and then is verified with a 1:1 CAD model through SimMechanics Toolbox from MATLAB/Simulink. Also the workspace of the robot is determined through forward kinematics equations.
