Mechanically operated device

A mechanically operated device comprising:

• a handle assembly sized and shaped for grasping by a user;
• an effector assembly, the effector assembly including:
• a first primary actuator tiltable about a first point;
• a second primary actuator tiltable about a second point;
• a primary gyroscope having:
• a primary inner gimbal;
• a primary middle gimbal;
• and
• a primary outer gimbal;
• wherein the primary gyroscope is rotatable relative to and adjacent the second primary actuator;
• a tubular member, the tubular member having a first end positioned proximal to the second primary actuator;
• a flexible kinematic chain, the flexible kinetic chain positioned at a second end of the tubular member;
• and
• a plurality of primary connecting cables coupled to the second primary actuator and at least a first part of the kinematic chain, each primary connecting cable guided at least though a lumen of the tubular member and at least partially through the flexible kinematic chain;
• wherein the first primary actuator is configured to displace the second primary actuator thereby to impart translational motion to each primary connecting cable and, in use, reciprocally displace at least one primary connecting cable along a longitudinal axis of the at least one primary connecting cable and thereby enable movement of the at least first part of the flexible kinematic chain.
