Abstract
A multidirectional drive device includes: a driven member that comprises a spherical surface having depressions and protrusions; a rotation driving part that is in contact with the spherical surface of the driven member and rotates the driven member; and a supporting member that is fixed to the driven member and supports an operated body. At least either one of a position and an orientation of the operated body is adjusted by rotation of the driven member.
