Abstract
Provided is a system comprising a tool () and a stator unit (). The tool () comprises an instrument () having a proximal end () and a distal () end, an end effector () at the distal end () actuated by torque, and a rotor unit () body () having at least two cammed surfaces to provide the torque. The stator unit () comprises a plurality of stator pushers (-Ua,-Va,-Wa,-Ub,-Vb,-Wb,-Uc,-Vc,-Wc) configured for movement in a direction radial to a centre of rotation () of the body () of the rotor unit () and for the application of the radial force, whereby movement of the stator pushers induces rotation of the body () around the axis of rotation ().
