Abstract
Provided is a stiffness-reinforced surgical system. A stiffness-reinforced surgical system includes a plurality of links provided rotatably with each other to form a joint device, a main tendon configured to form a traction force for driving the links, an auxiliary tendon configured to form a traction force to resist rotation of the links, and a controller configured to control the traction forces of the main tendon and the auxiliary tendon. According to example embodiment, it is possible to provide a stiffness-reinforced surgical system configured such that an overtube forms sufficient flexibility while being inserted into the lumen and forms high stiffness during lesion removal, and a control method thereof.
