<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medical manipulator whose operability is increased. <P>SOLUTION: A medical manipulator 10 includes a distal end working unit 14 including a gripper 22 as an end effector, an operating unit 16 for operating the distal end working unit 14, a coupling 12 interconnecting the distal end working unit 14 and the operating unit 16, and an attitude changing mechanism for changing an attitude of the distal end working unit 14. When the operating unit is operated by an operator, the gripper 22 is mechanically operated by a transmitting member. The attitude changing mechanism is operated by a bending drive source and a rotational drive source, which are operated when the operating unit 16 is operated by the operator. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
