Abstract
An articulating device for aiding a user, such as, a surgeon or other medical practitioner, in manipulating a hand-actuated articulating device by providing a powered force used for moving the device, thus reducing or eliminating the need for the user to provide all the force required to move the device. The articulating device includes an input device, which receives one or more user inputs to direct a slave portion to perform work. The articulating device further includes a control portion that assists in transferring user input to the slave portion, and that further provides power assistance to at least partially drive the slave portion, in combination with the user input received by the input device.
