Abstract
The invention relates to a medical workstation and an operating device () for the manual movement of a robot arm (M-M). The operating device () comprises a controller () and at least one manual mechanical input device (E-E) coupled to the controller (). The controller () is designed to generate signals for controlling a movement of at least one robot arm (M-M) provided for treating a living being (P) based on a manual movement of the input device (E-E) such that the robot arm (M-M) carries out a movement corresponding to the manual movement. The input device (EE) comprises at least one mechanical damping unit (), which generates a force and/or torque during a manual movement of the input device (EE) for at least partially suppressing a partial movement resulting from a tremor of the person operating the input device (EE).
