Abstract: Provided are a manipulation system and a driving method of the manipulation system capable of performing manipulation efficiently and suitably while suppressing damage to a minute object at the time of manipulation regardless of the degree of skill and technique of an operator. A sample stage configured such that a minute object is placed thereon, a first manipulator including a first pipette for holding the minute object, a second manipulator including a second pipette for operating the minute object that is held on the first pipette, an imaging unit for imaging the minute object, and a controller that controls the sample stage, the first pipette, the second pipette, and the imaging unit are provided.

Abstract: A manipulation system includes a sample stage configured such that a minute object is placed thereon, a first manipulator including a first pipette for holding the minute object, a second manipulator including a second pipette for manipulating the minute object that is held to the first pipette, an imaging unit configured to image the minute object, and a control unit configured to control the sample stage, the first pipette, the second pipette, and the imaging unit. The control unit moves the second pipette to a direction approaching the sample stage from the upper side of the minute object, at a position where the second pipette overlaps with the minute object and is away from the center of the minute object in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the second pipette, when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the sample stage.
