Summary:PURPOSE: To miniaturize operation manipulator, improve working efficiency and reduce operation time, by detecting an absolute position of each joint of a multijoint operation manipulator, making the detection results analogue information, re-detecting the position information of each joint from the analogue information and outputting to a control means. CONSTITUTION: A treatment slave manipulator is composed of a combination of a treatment apparatus 4 and a treatment arm 5. An observing slave manipurator is composed of the combination of an endoscope 6 and an observing arm 7. A microcontroller for controlling operation of the manipulator is built in a control means 11. A position of each joint of a master arm 8 which is an inputting means to the treatment slave manipulator is detected, converted into analogue amount, and is made an analogue signal. The position information of each joint is re-detected based on this analogue signal. The manipulator is controlled by this position information.
