Abstract: Disclosed is a console for operating an actuating mechanism, relating to the technical filed of automatic control, and being for use in resolving the technical problem of shift of a controller under the influence of gravity. The console for operating an actuating mechanism includes a controller and a support base. The controller is constrained in both the longitudinal direction and the vertical direction, so that connection between the controller and the support base is tight and reliable, and no displacement would occur in any of three directions (i.e., the longitudinal direction, the horizontal direction, and the vertical direction). Thus, the phenomenon that position information given by the controller is inaccurate due to shift of the controller under the influence of the gravity after long-term usage can be avoided, thereby removing the factors affecting success of surgery, and ensuring the success rate of the surgery.

Abstract: Provided is a laparoscope-holding robot system for laparoscopic surgery, which belongs to the technical field of robot control and is used to solve the technical problem in the prior art of the operations of a laparoscope-holding robot for laparoscopic surgery being inflexible and same further requiring a doctor to assist in operations. The laparoscope-holding robot system for laparoscopic surgery of the present invention comprises a trolley rack, a surgical tool and a mechanical arm. Since the mechanical arm has at least six degrees of freedom, the mechanical arm can completely simulate the range of motion of a human arm and is no different from the human arm in terms of flexibility, so as to precisely locate the position of a lesion that actually needs to be operated without requiring a doctor to assist in operations.
