A first rotating part(1100) is combined with the end part of the articulated arm in order to be rotated around a first rotary shaft. A first driving part(1400) drives the rotational motion of the first rotating part. A second rotating part(1200) is combined with the first rotating part in order to be rotated around a second rotary shaft. An endoscope is installed in the second rotating part. A second driving part(1500) drives the rotational motion of the second rotating part.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
