Abstract
Needs which have arisen in ophthalmic research have motivated the development of a six degree of freedom parallel micromanipulator. The first application of the tool will be in the treatment of retinal venous occlusion, for which micron-scale spherical movement of a glass micropipette tip inside the eye is required. The initial operation mode will be open loop while future operation will be in a force-reflecting bilateral (macro-master / micro-slave) arrangement. Presented here are some of the design criteria, the mathematical tools used in evaluating various parallel manipulator designs, and the final kinematic configuration.
