  • Forceps system
    Patent number: 10675047
    Abstract: A forceps system includes a forceps manipulator and a control unit. The forceps manipulator includes a forceps tip unit capable of bending with two degrees of freedom including a bending direction and a bending angle, a drive unit that generates a driving force for the forceps tip unit, an operation unit for instructing the bending direction and the bending angle, and a first detection unit that detects an angle in a rotation direction with respect to an axis of the drive transmitting unit. The control unit that controls the drive unit such that the forceps tip unit bends depending on a predetermined target bending direction and a predetermined target bending angle. The control unit sets a target bending direction on the basis of the bending direction instructed from the operation unit and the angle detected by the first detection unit.
