Abstract: The invention relates to a universal actuator platform for guiding end effectors, for example, cameras, surgical, or medical tools, or instruments etc. in minimally invasive interventions, in which each end effector is introduced into a body cavity at an entrance point with at least one interface, for connecting at least one kinematic device, with an end effector, to at least one drive mechanism for the kinematic device and to a drive controller.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new type of hydraulic module for actuating at least one hydraulic control element with a hydraulic pump in a housing, with an electric motor fastened to a first housing side for driving the pump, with a tank located on a second housing side opposite the first side for a hydraulic fluid, e.g. hydraulic oil, with flow channels produced in the housing produced preferably by bore holes for the hydraulic fluid to supply this fluid from the tank to a pump chamber, for transmitting the hydraulic fluid conveyed by the pump to a pressure connection located on the housing, for connection of the at least one actuating element and for returning the hydraulic fluid from the pressure connection into the tank.
