In this paper, we would propose a novel mechanism of surgical manipulator, which assists the surgeon in precise positioning and handling of surgical devices, like biopsy needle, endscope, in MR-guided surgery. This mechanism can transmit 3 translational and 3 rotational motion from the outside to the inside of MR imaging area using leverage and parallelepiped mechanism. Such a remote actuation ...
