Abstract

A medical manipulator system having a controller configured to receive an image showing a state of a treating portion of a manipulator from an endoscope, determine a magnitude of an external force exerted on the manipulator based on the state of the treating portion of the manipulator shown in the image, generate an auxiliary image in which a display form thereof is changed with a change in the magnitude of the external force exerted on the manipulator determined, determine a display position of the auxiliary image in the image on the basis of the magnitude of the external force exerted on the manipulator determined, and generate a composited image signal of a composited image in which the auxiliary image is superimposed on the image on the basis of the display position determined.
