Abrégé

A medical manipulator system includes a medical manipulator including a bending portion and a bending wire configured to bend the bending portion, an actuator configured to bend the bending portion by driving the bending wire, a sensor configured to detect tension of the bending wire, and a controller configured to control the actuator. The controller drives the bending wire so that the tension of the bending wire does not exceed a tension limit value determined on the basis of a traction quantity of the bending wire.
