Medical manipulator and method of controlling the same

A remote operation-type surgery system comprising:

• a multiple-degree freedom slave arm, which is able to be mounted with a medical instrument including a shaft portion and an end effector disposed at a distal end of the shaft portion;
• a first input device configured to receive a first input to operate the multiple-degree freedom slave arm;
• a second input device configured to receive a second input to operate the multiple-degree freedom slave arm and different from the first input device;
• a touch panel configured to set an operation mode for the multiple-degree freedom slave arm operated by the second input device;
• and
• a controller configured to control the multiple-degree freedom slave arm based on the first input or second input, wherein the controller is configured to:
• determine whether or not an in-operation signal is turned on;
• when the in-operation signal is turned on, control the multiple-degree freedom slave arm so that the multi-degree-of-freedom slave arm performs a movement based on the first input by the first input device;
• and
• when the in-operation signal is not turned on, control the multiple-degree freedom slave arm so that the multiple-degree freedom slave arm performs a movement based on the second input by the second input device and the operation mode set by the touch panel.
