Abstract
In recent years, minimally invasive surgery is progressing. As one of the minimally invasive surgery, there is endoscopic surgery. It reduces burden of the patient. However, the burden of the operator increases. So, to purpose of reducing the burden of the surgeon, we have developed a surgical assisted system. This system is composed of the supporting device and the robotics forceps. In this research, we describe the development of the supporting device. In this paper, to development of the supporting device, we describe the design of a sensor detecting the operation force of surgeon. We evaluate the characteristics of the sensor designed. The results, we describe the improvement plan and problems.
