PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manipulator for controlling a drive part so that it continues driving under predetermined conditions even when an operating state signal detected by a sensor deviates from an operable region. SOLUTION: Control units 10A and 10B drive active mechanisms 7A and 7B provided for an endoscope 2 and a treatment instrument 3, respectively, by drive signals in response to an instruction input, and performs feedback control of the drive signal by sensor values of sensors 11A and 11B. A determination part 12 determines whether the sensor value etc. is within the normal operable range, and uses the previous sensor value to perform drive control when the sensor value is deviated from the operable range.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a master/slave type manipulator system intuitively operating with a simple structure which is not restricted on arrangement of a monitor and operation input device. SOLUTION: The master/slave type manipulator system 1 is provided with a manipulator 132, a camera 146, the monitor 152, the operation input device 100, a manipulator controller 122, and a master controller 104. The master controller 122 is provided with: an operation instruction information acquisition part 106 for acquiring operation instruction information based on an instruction by the operation input device 100; an acquisition information separating part 110 for separating the operation instruction information into position movement instruction information and attitude instruction information; and a moving direction compensation controller 116 for correcting the position movement instruction information based on the attitude instruction information and outputting the position movement instruction compensation information. The manipulator controller 122 controls position attitude of the manipulator 134, based on the position movement instruction compensation information and attitude instruction information.

摘要:
A system and method of providing a surgical training apparatus which comprises a plurality of mechanical interfaces each of which is configured to receive a user tool operable by a user. Each mechanical interface of the plurality is configured to allow movement of its respective user tool in a rotational degree of freedom and a linear degree of freedom. The apparatus includes one or more sensors which are coupled to the mechanical interfaces and configured to simultaneously sense positional information of each user tool during movement. A computer coupled to the one or more sensors and configured to run a software application simulating each user tool as a respective simulated surgical tool operating on a simulated body part in a displayed graphical environment, wherein the computer updates movement of each simulated user tool in the graphical environment based on said positional information.
