  • Publication number: 20220378455
    Abstract: A surgical system according to an embodiment may include a patient-side apparatus, an operator-side apparatus including an operation part to receive an operation for operating a surgical instrument attached to an arm of the patient-side apparatus, and a controller configured to control an operation of the surgical instrument based on the operation received by the operation part. The controller is configured to: control rotation amounts of first and second drive parts to drive first and second elongate elements for opening and closing first and second jaw members of the surgical instrument such that an opening angle between the first and second jaw members correspond to an operating angle received by the operation part; and correct, according to a rotation angle of a shaft of the surgical instrument about a rotation axis of the shaft, the rotation amounts of the first and second drive parts that correspond to the operating angle.

  • Patent number: 10345788
    Abstract: A controller is configured to operate a robot arm at a speed that is equal to or lower than a first maximum speed in a high-speed operation region, and operate the robot arm at a speed that is equal to or lower than a second maximum speed lower than the first maximum speed in a low-speed operation region, and change a collision detection sensitivity between the high-speed operation region and the low-speed operation region so that the collision detection sensitivity in the high-speed operation region becomes lower than the collision detection sensitivity in the low-speed operation region.
