A robotic surgical system according to an embodiment may include: a surgical instrument including a pair of jaw members; an operation handle; and a surgical robot that includes a robot arm to which the surgical instrument is attached and which includes a drive part to drive a driven member, and a controller configured to drive the drive part based on a command jaw opening angle associated with an input to the input device for controlling an opening angle between the pair of jaw members. The controller is configured, when it is determined that a current value of the drive part excesses a predetermined threshold value during a closing operation of the pair of jaw members, to drive the drive part in a restriction mode in which a magnitude of the command jaw opening angle is restricted.

Robotic surgical system, surgical robot, and robotic surgical method

A robot system () of the present disclosure includes a robot () installed in a workarea (), an interface (), a display (), and a control device (). When operating the robot () to perform a kind of work defined beforehand to a workpiece () based on manipulational command information on the robot () inputted from the interface (), the control device () displays on the display () a spatial relationship between the workpiece () and the robot () in a state where the workpiece and the robot are seen from a direction different from a direction in which an operator looks at the robot () from a manipulation area () that is a space different from the workarea (), based on three-dimensional model information on the workpiece (), three-dimensional model information on the robot (), and the manipulational command information.
