The inconvenience of laparoscopic operations lies mainly in the difficulties in mutual understanding between the surgeon and the camera assistant that manoeuvres the laparoscope camera according to the surgeon’s instructions .Another problem arises when the operation had to be performed for many hours.[1] In these cases the camera image tends to become unsteady due to fatigue of the camera assistant. The self-camera control, give more stability of the laparoscopic image, A robotic camera Assistant(parallel manipulator) directly under surgeon’s control can help the surgeon control the view better.In this paper a parallel robot is simulated for the manipulation of laparoscopic camera and Two dimentional workspace generated is indicated and velocity ,acceleration ,displacement graphs are shown and analysis is done using ANSYS.
