In this paper, a structure for an assistant robot in arthroscopic surgery with 6 degrees of freedom is proposed. A structure based on a 6 DOF robot was selected which its first 3 DOFs are used for positioning and 2 final ones forming a wrist orientate the arthroscope. The roll DOF has no effect on image and hence was eliminated. A sliding link was added between link 3 and wrist to facilitate horizontal guidance and penetration. The final structure is a RRRPRR robot.
