An endoscopic surgical instrument may include: two surgical instrument modules, each of which is provided with a surgical instrument portion; and/or an endoscopic module configured to form a triangular shape with the two surgical instrument modules and configured to capture operations of the surgical instrument modules at different angles using a plurality of joints. Wires connecting respective members coupled by the plurality of joints may be configured to amplify drive forces of a drive portion applied to the plurality of joints. The plurality of joints may include rolling joints at which teeth of gears engage and rotate with each other. The plurality of joints may provide three or more degrees of freedom to the endoscopic module.

Endoscopic surgical instruments

According to an aspect of the present invention, it is possible to implement a joint assembly operating similar to a user's actual ankle joint. An ankle joint included in a walking assistant robot is pivotable around a rotation axis located outside the ankle joint.

A holder may be more easily mounted on a user's body by applying tension to a cable. An inner side surface of the holder with which the user's body comes in contact transmits uniform pressure to the user's body such that the holder may be more comfortable to the user.

Disclosed is a manipulator including a wire driving actuator to bend base and terminal sections of a joint assembly in multiple directions by a base section wire and a terminal section wire. The terminal section driving wire is operatively connected to the base section driving wire such that the terminal section driving wire is moved by a distance equal to a movement distance of the base section driving wire. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent bending of the terminal section upon bending the base section.

Actuator and manipulator including the same

Laparoscopic surgical devices include a first member having a first gear, a second member having a second gear corresponding to the first gear, a connection member configured to connect the first member and the second member; first and second wire mounting pieces respectively at the first and second members, a first wire wound on the first wire mounting pieces so as to be pulled upon receiving a first drive force; and a second wire wound on the second wire mounting pieces so as to be pulled upon receiving a second drive force. The drive unit is configured to selectively transmit the first and second amplified driving forces to a respective one the first member and the second member to cause tilting of the first member and the second member.

Laparoscopic surgical devices having wire reducer

A surgical robot including a slave device provided with a surgical instrument includes a body having at least one link that includes a plurality of solenoid segments, and an end effector mounted to one end of the body.

Surgical robot

An end effector includes a tip part having a deformation member that is physically changed due to contact with an object, a gauge display part configured to display gauge information according to a physical change of the deformation member, and a connecting rod part connected to the tip part and configured to operate the tip part. A manipulator including an end effector configured to display physical information, which varies according to an object making contact with a tip part, on a gauge display part, an endoscope configured to obtain an image of the tip part of the end effector and an image of the gauge display part, and a control part configured to control transmission of the image obtained by the endoscope, and to control operations of the tip part and the endoscope.
