Claims20
A robotic device, comprising:
- (a) an elongate device body configured to be positioned at least partially within a body cavity of a patient through an incision, the device body comprising:
- a first motor disposed within the device body;
- (ii) a second motor disposed within the device body;
- and
- (iii) a camera lumen defined within the device body;
- (b) a first shoulder joint movably coupled to a distal end of the device body, wherein the first shoulder joint is operably coupled to the first motor;
- (c) a second shoulder joint movably coupled to the distal end of the device body, wherein the second shoulder joint is operably coupled to the second motor;
- (d) a first arm operably coupled to the first shoulder joint;
- and
- (e) a second arm operably coupled to the second shoulder joint,
- wherein the first shoulder joint and the second shoulder joint are moveably coupled to the distal end of the device body at least when the first arm and the second arm are extended in a straight configuration.
