[Object] To enable greater compactness and also to be capable of preventing breakdown more reliably. [Solution] Provided is an actuator, including: a motor; and a reduction gear having a breakdown torque that is less than a starting torque of the motor. A limit value in accordance with the breakdown torque of the reduction gear is set with respect to a control value for driving the motor.

There is provided a medical support arm device including a brake provided in at least one joint of a plurality of joints that define a deployment configuration of a multi-joint arm, and configured to release a rotation shaft of the at least one joint when electricity is supplied to the multi-joint arm and lock the rotation shaft when electricity is not supplied to the multi-joint arm. When electricity is not supplied the brake is configured to exert a brake force that supports a weight of the multi-joint arm to maintain the deployment configuration of the multi-joint arm, but also permits rotation of the rotation shaft by an external manually applied force equal to or larger than a predetermined value

[Object] To detect a rotational angle accurately and also to drive more safely. [Solution] Provided is an actuator (300) including: a reduction gear (320) that reduces, by a certain reduction ratio, a rotational velocity of an input shaft joined to a rotary shaft of a motor (360), and transmits the reduced rotational velocity to an output shaft (350); a first absolute angle encoder (330) that detects a rotational angle of the input shaft; and a second absolute angle encoder (340) that detects a rotational angle of the output shaft.

[Problem to be Solved] Proposed is a surgery system, an image processor, and an image processing method that make it possible to know distribution of tissue inside a biological organ more exactly. [Solution] A surgery system including a surgical camera and an image processor. The surgical camera performs imaging of a biological organ to acquire an image of the biological organ. The image processor specifies element tissue included in a three-dimensional region being a portion of the biological organ during surgery on the basis of three-dimensional distribution information of element tissue included in the biological organ and superimposes a representation of the specified element tissue on the image of the biological organ.
摘要:
[Object] To enable further suppression of the movement amount of an arm section when switching states. [Solution] There is provided a control apparatus configured to execute a current tracking control on a basis of a measurement value of a torque sensor of an actuator provided in at least one of multiple joint sections included in an arm section of a medical support arm apparatus, the current tracking control causing a motor of the actuator to output torque by which a position and an attitude of the arm section are maintained, and switch a first state in which the motor is driven in accordance with a predetermined control method, and a second state in which the joint section is locked using a brake of the actuator.
摘要:
[Object] To calibrate an internal model more efficiently and more precisely [Solution] Provided is a robot arm apparatus including: an arm unit made up of a plurality of links joined by one or a plurality of a joint unit, the arm unit being connectable to an imaging unit. An internal model including at least geometric information about the arm unit and focus position information about the imaging unit is updated using internal model information acquired in a state in which the imaging unit is pointed at a reference point in real space.
摘要:
[Object] To realize a movable mechanism capable of being configured more compactly and also capable of ensuring higher safety. [Solution] Provided is a motor. An electrically active part is provided with an insulating structure so that insulating properties between the electrically active part and one or more conductors near the electrically active part satisfy a certain safety standard regarding medical electrical equipment.

A service through remote control of a robot operated in an everyday living space is suitably provided. A server of a service provider matches up a user and an operator on the basis of subjective evaluations on services received from the user and operational skill parameters received from the robot. The server selects operators to be assigned to the user for subsequent remote control services and performs scheduling of the operators to realize team building among the operators. The service provider also pays remuneration or reward to the operators.
摘要:
Proposed is a mechanism capable of securing both convenience and safety in regard to surgery performed by inserting an endoscope into a human body. A medical arm system including: a multi-joint arm which has a plurality of links connected by joints and a distal end to which an endoscope is connectable; and a control unit which sets a virtual plane in a body cavity of a patient and controls the multi-joint arm so as to constrain a predetermined point of the endoscope in the body cavity on the virtual plane.
