A robot for surgical operation which comprises arm structure mounted at its one end of a vertical support and extending in a predetermined direction. The robot comprises a drive mechanism mounted on the other end of the arm structure and adapted to extend substantially horizontally further in said predetermined direction. A head or trepan is mounted at the extended end of and driven by said drive mechanism. Light transmissive fiber or the like mounted on the trepan takes an image of the patient and a controller process the image through video data processing for driving the arm structure, thereby controlling the position and tilt of the trepan with respect to the patient.

A robot for surgical operation, comprising: (a) two spaced vertical support means; (b) two sets of articulated arm means, each said set of arm means being rotatably supported at one end thereof to one of said vertical support means and extending substantially horizontally, each set of said arm means consisting of a first elongate member and a second elongate member pivotally connected to each other to provide said articulation, said two sets of arm means being pivotally connected at the free or distal ends thereof to each other; (c) head drive means mounted on an axis extending through said connected free or distal ends of said two sets of articulated arm means, for driving a vertically movable member into vertical translatory motion and into rotational motion about the longitudinal axis thereof; and (d) a drive mechanism mounted to the lower end of said vertically movable member for controllably supporting and driving at an extended extremity thereof a hollow cylindrical head, said drive mechanism comprising a moving pipe for supporting and rocking the head, a rotary pipe slidably supported within the moving pipe, the head being attached swingably to the rotary pipe attached to controllably swing about the longitudinal axis of the rotary pipe such that rotation of said rotary pipe about the longitudinal axis thereof causes the head to swing about the longitudinal axis of the rotary pipe, a hollow cylindrical treatment member rotatably supported by the head to provide a predetermined treatment at a treatment end thereof, a rotary shaft slidably and rotatably supported within the rotary pipe and connected to the head to rotate a surface treatment member attached thereto, and a link mechanism for connecting said moving pipe to said head so that longitudinal movement of the moving pipe relative to the rotary pipe causes said head to swing about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said moving pipe.
