Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present a methodology for medical robot kinematics design developed using a knowledge‐management approach.Design/methodology/approachA classification of medical robots is proposed based on their kinematic characteristics and 76 robot specifications were collected in a catalogue. Then, having drawn a generic specifications sheet, rules were proposed to choose a structure from these specifications.FindingsFindings are situated at several levels: the catalogue, the classification of robots with respect to their kinematic characteristics, a generic and specific specifications sheet, and an organigram to choose the most relevant structure from the specifications.Research limitations/implicationsThis structural synthesis represents a preliminary step in the design of medical robots which will be completed by an additional dimensional synthesis.Originality/valueThis work offers a new methodology for medical robots design distinct from what is usually done for medical or industrial robots design using intuition, expertise and non‐formal knowledge.
