    Abstract: A control device includes a processor including at least one hardware unit, the control device controlling an endoscope having a channel through which a treatment instrument is inserted, the endoscope including an insertion portion configured to be inserted into a subject and a rigidity variable unit provided in the insertion portion and configured to be capable of partially changing rigidity of the insertion portion. The processor detects formation of a bent portion in the insertion portion based on a detection result of a shape of the insertion portion, and in a case where the processor detects the formation of the bent portion in the insertion portion, the processor performs control of increasing rigidity of the rigidity variable unit located on a proximal end side in the bent portion.

    Abstract: A flexible tube insertion apparatus includes a flexible tube to be inserted into a tract, a shape calculation system configured to calculate a shape of the flexible tube, and a bend detection unit configured to detect formation of first and second bend portions in the flexible tube, based on information of the calculated shape of the flexible tube. The apparatus also includes a positional relationship calculation unit configured to calculate a three-dimensional positional relationship expressed by a crossing angle between first and second imaginary planes respectively passing through the first and second bend portions, and a stiffness control system configured to control a stiffness of the flexible tube, based on the three-dimensional positional relationship.

    Abstract: A flexible tube insertion apparatus includes an insertion section including a bending portion and a flexible tube portion, variable stiffness sections which causes a change in a level of a bending stiffness of the flexible tube portion, a variable stiffness control section which controls the change in the bending stiffness of the flexible tube portion by the variable stiffness sections, an image sensor which images a subject in a forward direction of the bending portion, a cavity detection section which detects a presence of a cavity in the forward direction based on an image from the image sensor, and a time setting section that sets a time period. The bending stiffness is switched each time period set by the time setting section when the cavity detection section has detected the presence of the cavity in the forward direction.
