A manipulator includes: an operating unit, and a bending assembly that is bent by operation of the operating unit, wherein: the bending assembly includes: a first link member having a first arc portion, a second link member having a second arc portion, an intermediate link member that includes a first intermediate arc portion and a second intermediate arc portion in opposition to the first intermediate arc portion, and is mounted between the first link member and the second link member.

Devices to control a movement or instrument function of a robotic arm of a surgical robotic system include a foot pedal configured to generate a first input signal when the foot pedal is moved to a first activation position and a second input signal, different from the first input signal, when the foot pedal is moved to a second activation position. The first activation position may be associated with a first specific movement or instrument function of a robotic arm. The second activation position may be associated with a second specific movement or instrument function of the robotic arm. The foot pedal is configured to send the first input signal or the second input signal to a surgical console to be utilized to remotely control the respective specific movement or instrument function of the robotic arm.

Surgical robotic systems including a user console for controlling a robotic arm or a surgical robotic tool are described. The user console includes components designed to automatically adapt to anthropometric characteristics of a user. A processor of the surgical robotic system is configured to receive anthropometric inputs corresponding to the anthropometric characteristics and to generate an initial console configuration of the user console based on the inputs using a machine learning model. Actuators automatically adjust a seat, a display, or one or more pedals of the user console to the initial console configuration. The initial console configuration establishes a comfortable relative position between the user and the console components. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
