Abstract: A parallel-type micro robot capable of precise control while minimizing size thereof and a surgical robot system having the same are disclosed. The parallel-type micro robot includes a base plate, a work plate, a main fixing shaft module, a horizontal movement module and at least one angle-controlling module. The base plate includes a base body portion and at least one base connecting portion connected to the base body portion. The work plate includes a work body portion corresponding to the base body portion and at least one work connecting portion connecting to the work body portion to correspond to the base connecting portion. The main fixing shaft module is disposed between the base body portion and the work body portion, and coupled to the work body portion such that the work body portion is rotatable. The horizontal movement module is disposed between the main fixing shaft module and the base body portion, and moves the main fixing shaft module along first and second directions intersecting each other.

Abstract: A parallel micro-robot with five degrees of freedom that is capable of manufacturing in compact size as well as capable of controlling more precisely compared with conventional parallel robot is disclosed. The parallel micro-robot with five degrees of freedom is capable of controlling an angle of the operating plate very precisely around two shafts rotating connection means which couples operating plate and up/down height adjusting actuator using a first and second angle adjusting actuator, and therefore, high accuracy is secured.

Abstract: Disposed is a driver for a plasma display panel, which is capable of absorbing surplus power of a plasma display panel by power conversion switching performed according to the switching of a sustain circuit to form a transmission path using resonance between the inductance of a transformer for power conversion and the capacitance of the plasma display panel, without using an energy recovery circuit. The driver includes a power supply unit including preset inductance, and converting alternating current (AC) commercial power into preset driving power by using the inductance, a driving unit switching the driving power from the power supply unit according to a logic signal and supplying the switched driving power to a plasma display panel. Surplus power of the driving unit is transmitted to the power supply unit by resonance between the inductance of the power supply unit and capacitance of the plasma display panel.
