1. A robotic device, comprising:
- (a) a medical device body configured to be disposed through a port or incision in a cavity wall of a patient, the body comprising an actuator;
(b) a controller disposed at an external location in relation to the patient;
(b) a connection component coupled to the medical device body and the controller, the connection component comprising a wired connection component;
(c) an arm comprising;
(i) a first arm component pivotally connected to the medical device body at a first pivotal joint; and
(ii) a second arm component pivotally connected to the first arm component at a second pivotal joint,wherein the arm is configured to be positionably disposed entirely within the cavity of the patient; and
(d) an operational component operably coupled to the second arm.
