Claim:
1. A portable standalone device, particularly suitable for use in surgery, micro-component handling and the like comprising a micro-tool that can be removably coupled to a main casing, and actuation means, fed autonomously by at least one battery, for handling the micro-tool, associated with servomotors, the micro-tool being comprised of a clamp provided with two gripping elements facing each other, the aforementioned actuation means comprising a first actuator associated with a first servomotor, providing the micro-tool with a degree of rotational freedom in respect of an axis which protrudes from the servomotor; wherein the actuation means includes a second actuator associated with at least a second servomotor, connected to the first actuator which is suitable for moving the micro-tool forwards and backwards in translation; and a third actuator associated with a third servomotor, which is suitable for oscillating the micro-tool in relation to the longitudinal axis of the first and second actuators; wherein the first, second and third actuators being associated with a control unit, housed in the main casing which can determine the position of the micro-tool in space; in which each of the gripping elements of the micro-tool is associated with an articulation of the third actuator, each of the gripping elements being connected to a respective secondary actuator to perform mutually independent movements with respect to each gripping element, whose secondary servo-motors act independently from the first, second and third actuators; wherein the second actuator comprises tubular bodies which can be extended telescopically between each other, inside of which the axis of the first actuator runs along, wherein each tubular body is connected to a separate servomotor and in which guide means are provided for rotationally moving the micro-tool, consisting said guiding means of grooves provided in each of the tubular bodies in which sections of a guide are inserted and arranged on the connector element that is displaceable along the entire diameter of the tubular bodies; and wherein the actuator servomotors are coupled in a structure that protrudes from the main casing, such that when a tubular body moves, the aforementioned structure moves, wherein tubular elements of the structures are fixed to respective tubular bodies by use of a number of diametrically protruding extensions.
