Master and Slave system to assist the surgeon has been studied actively. In the neurosurgery, the development of micro neurosurgery system that is manipulatable in the deep surgical field with the engineering techniques is also studied, and there are some famous robots. However, regarding the master system, manipulator should be designed for each surgical field, because the target workspace and precision are different. Furthermore, operability is important for the safety reason. Therefore, the authors tried to develop a master manipulator with higher operability especially designed for micro neurosurgical system.
