Abstract
In recent years we have seen the undeniable advancement of robotics in the areas of medicine, due mainly to its accuracy of displacements and positioning. Researches show that robotics for medical applications have much to advance, presenting itself as a promising market in the coming years. However, the acquisition costs of this type of robots are high, when compared with classical industrial robots, in such way that, recognized medical centers around the world do not have perspectives in a short-term to access this technology. This work deals with a study of the potential of application of industrial robots, in medical and surgical procedures. Through the method developed in this work, it is possible to map inside the workspace of industrial robots, which regions are less influenced by constructive or manufacturing errors being, therefore, more suitable for tasks that require precision, such as medical procedures. In order to develop this work, a mechanical part with a set of holes is used as a model simulating in a systematic way, the desired positions and orientations for the end-effector for a Kuka-Kr16 industrial robot used as a case study
