The invention claimed is: 1. A master-slave manipulator system comprising: a manipulator having an arm; an operation input device for moving said arm of said manipulator; and a controller for controlling said manipulator and said operation input device, wherein said operation input device comprises
The invention claimed is: 1. A master-slave manipulator system comprising: a manipulator having an arm; an operation input device for moving said arm of said manipulator; and a controller for controlling said manipulator and said operation input device, wherein said operation input device comprises on joints a motion-direction limitation changeover mechanism having modes: of which, in one mode, the motion on the joint is limited; in the other mode the motion of one direction on the joint is free, selecting one of the above modes and changing over from one mode to the selected mode. 2. A master-slave manipulator system as set forth in claim 1, wherein there are provided a sensor or a diagnostic tool capable of acquiring geometrical data and data of the obstacle in an operation range of said arm of said manipulator and a means for setting an area where said arm of said manipulator may be operated in accordance with the geometrical data and the data of the obstacle detected by said sensor or said diagnostic tool in the operation range of said arm of said manipulator, and said controller restrains said operation input device from being operated in an area where said arm of said manipulator should not be moved, with the use of said motion-direction limitation changeover mechanism which is arranged on each of the joints in said operation input device, when said arm of said manipulator is to be manipulated in the area where said arm of said manipulator should not be moved. 3. A master-slave manipulator system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said operation input device comprises a grip opening and closing mechanism capable of having functions of said motion-direction limitation changeover mechanism, and capable of optionally limiting a degree of opening of a grip. 4. A master-slave manipulator system as set forth in claim 2, wherein Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) unit is used as the diagnostic tool for acquiring the geometrical data in the operation range of said arm of said manipulator. 5. A master-slave manipulator as set forth in claim 2, wherein a Computed Tomography (CT) unit is used as the diagnostic tool for acquiring the geometrical data in the operation range of said arm of said manipulator. 6. A master-slave manipulator system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said controller controls the selection of said changeover mechanism so as to limit the operation range of said arm of said manipulator. 7. A master-slave manipulator system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said controller selects the mode of said motion-direction limitation changeover mechanism multiple times and in a variable manner of duty ratio so as to finely change over the connection, thereby, presenting a force feed-back when said arm of said manipulator makes contact with an object. 8. An operation input device for moving an arm of a manipulator in a master-slave manipulator system, wherein a mode changeover mechanism having three modes: of which, in a first mode, power is not transmitted; in a second mode, power is transmitted in one direction and is not transmitted in a reverse direction thereof; and, in a third mode, power is transmitted in the reverse direction and is not transmitted in the one direction, selecting one of the above modes and changing over from one mode to the selected mode is provided on joints. 9. A master-slave manipulator system comprising: a manipulator having an arm; an operation input device for moving said arm of said manipulator; and a controller for controlling said manipulator and said operation input device, wherein said operation input device comprises on joints a motion-direction limitation changeover mechanism having modes: of which, in one mode, the motion on the joint is free; in the other mode, the motion of one direction on the joint is limited, selecting one of the above modes and changing over from one mode to the selected mode, wherein said motion-direction limitation changeover mechanism which is arranged on each of the joints in said operation input device comprises a two-way clutch, a 3 position solenoid, and a translation joint mechanism utilizing a rack and a pinion. 10. A master-slave manipulator system comprising: a manipulator having an arm; an operation input device for moving said arm of said manipulator; and a controller for controlling said manipulator and said operation input device, wherein said operation input device comprises on joints a motion-direction limitation changeover mechanism having modes: of which, in one mode, the motion on the joint is free; in the other mode, the motion of one direction on the joint is limited, selecting one of the above modes and changing over from one mode to the selected mode, wherein said motion-direction limitation changeover mechanism which is arranged on each of the joints in said operation input device comprises a two-way clutch, a three position solenoid and a rotating joint mechanism utilizing two links constituting the joint.
