Abstract
An endoscopic system includes a mechanical arm, an endoscope and a control unit. The endoscope is held by the mechanical arm, and is configured to capture an image. The control unit is electrically connected to the mechanical arm and the endoscope, and is configured to receive and process the image captured by the endoscope, to determine whether the image has at least two specific instruments that are arranged in a specific configuration, and to drive the mechanical arm to move the endoscope when the determination is affirmative.
