Abstract: An endoscope surgical robot system according to an exemplary embodiment may include an endoscope apparatus having an insertion tube and an endoscope camera to monitor an end image of the insertion tube, a driving module connected to the endoscope apparatus and configured to perform pitch rotation or roll rotation of the insertion tube, an operation module configured to be rotated to generate an input signal required for pitch rotation or roll rotation of the endoscope apparatus by a user, and a controller to control operation of the driving module based on the input signal generated by the operation module.
Abstract: Provided is a stiffness-reinforced surgical system. A stiffness-reinforced surgical system includes a plurality of links provided rotatably with each other to form a joint device, a main tendon configured to form a traction force for driving the links, an auxiliary tendon configured to form a traction force to resist rotation of the links, and a controller configured to control the traction forces of the main tendon and the auxiliary tendon. According to example embodiment, it is possible to provide a stiffness-reinforced surgical system configured such that an overtube forms sufficient flexibility while being inserted into the lumen and forms high stiffness during lesion removal, and a control method thereof.
