Abstract

A controller controls a movement of an endoscope to cause the endoscope to follow a surgical instrument. The controller includes a processor. The processor acquires position information including the position of the surgical instrument, acquires scene information associated with a procedure scene to be observed through the endoscope, determines an offset parameter, which determines the position of the target point with respect to a predetermined fiducial point in the field of view of the endoscope, of a target point on the basis of the scene information, sets the position of the target point with respect to the fiducial point on the basis of the offset parameter, and causes the endoscope to follow the surgical instrument such that the surgical instrument is disposed at the target point, by controlling a movement of the endoscope on the basis of the position of the target point and the position of the surgical instrument.
