Abstract

A robotic arm (116,100,102) including a parallel spherical five-bar linkage with a remote center of spherical rotation. The robotic arm movably supports an endoscopic camera (104). Two outboard links (702,703) are pivotally coupled together. At least one of the two outboard links supports the endoscopic camera. Two inboard links (701,704) are respectively pivotally coupled to the two outboard links such that the two inboard links are able to cross over one another. The two inboard links moveably support the two outboard links. A ground link is pivotally coupled to the two inboard links. The ground link moveably supports the two inboard links.
