The paper discusses the kinematic models of a new spherical parallel manipulator (new SPM). The new SPM is obtained by replacing one leg of a classic 3-RRR SPM. It is used as a master device for a teleoperation system for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). This device controls a surgical robot (slave). The inverse and forward models of the new SPM are studied. Those models are needed to control the motions of the slave robot. A prototype of the new SPM is presented in the end of the paper.
