A rotation connecting mechanism includes: a joint that connects a second member rotatably to a first member with three rotational degrees of freedom; a first link and a third link in each of which one end is attached rotatably to second member with at least two rotational degrees of freedom while the other end is attached rotatably to first member with at least two rotational degrees of freedom, each of first link and third link having a variable length and five rotational degrees of freedom; a second link in which one end is attached rotatably to first link with at least two rotational degrees of freedom while the other end is attached rotatably to first member with at least two rotational degrees of freedom, second link having a variable length and five rotational degrees of freedom; and motors that generate force changing lengths of the three links.

A remote control manipulator system includes a manipulator controlled remotely by an operator; a camera to capture an image including the manipulator; a posture sensor to detect posture data; an action instruction inputter with which the operator inputs an action instruction instructing action to move or stop the manipulator; a control device including a structural data storage to store manipulator structural data representing a structure of the manipulator, a model image generator to generate a model image with referring to the structural data storage and the posture data, and a presentation image generator to generate a presentation image by superimposing a model image on the captured image; and a display to display the presentation image.

Provided is an insertion guide that performs accurate rotation correction between a shaft and a hole and phase correction between the shaft and hole. The shaft includes: a first guide portion at a distal end of the shaft having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the hole; a second guide portion, provided on a base end side of a first narrow cylindrical portion, and having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the hole and larger than a diameter of the first narrow cylindrical portion; and a third guide portion, provided at the distal end of the shaft, and is a recessed portion to be engaged with a protruding portion formed in the hole. The shaft being inclined with respect to the hole, is brought into contact with the hole at two points or less before the third guide portion is brought into contact with the protruding portion.

A mirror replacement device includes a gripping mechanism to grip a segment mirror, a fine drive mechanism to change a position and a posture of the gripping mechanism, a lift mechanism for the segment mirror, a first detector to detect a relative position and a relative posture between a comparison object and a target object, a second detector to detect a bend of the fine drive mechanism, and a mirror replacement controller to replace the segment mirror based on detection signals output from the above-mentioned detectors. The controller determines whether the first detector can successfully perform a measurement. When it is determined that the measurement can be successfully performed, the control is performed based on the detection signal output from the first detector. When it is determined that the measurement cannot be successfully performed, the control is performed based on the detection signal output from the second detector.

Parallel laser light beams are irradiated from different positions into a telescope. Beams of laser light are incident on a secondary minor attitude detection minor from different locations. Laser light detectors detect each beam of laser light reflected by the secondary minor attitude detection minor. A first attitude calculator determines an amount of attitude variation of a secondary minor based on a result detected by the laser light detectors. The laser light detectors detect each beam of the laser light reflected by the primary minor and the secondary minor after entering the telescope. A second attitude calculator determines an amount of attitude variation of the primary minor based on a result detected by the laser light detectors and the result detected by the laser light detectors.
