Most robots for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) are large, bulky devices which mimic the paradigm of manual MIS by manipulating long, rigid instruments from outside the body [1]. Some of these incorporate “wristed” instruments to place some local dexterity at or near the tool tip [2]. In contrast, a small number of MIS robot designs place all of the degrees of freedom inside the patient’s body in order to increase the local dexterity [3].
