Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved articulation movement mechanism.SOLUTION: The mechanism, a member or a segment includes the link connected by a flexible hinge. The proximal end and distal end of the mechanism are connected by at least one set of cables in such a fashion that one pair comprises a proximal-side active flexible segment and a distal-side active flexible segment. By moving the active flexible segment at the proximal end of the mechanism, the relative movement corresponding to the segment at the distal end of the mechanism is generated.
