A surgical robotic device, comprising: a. an elongate device body comprising: i) a body housing; ii) a first right motor and a second right motor disposed within the body housing; and iii) a first left motor and a second left motor disposed within the body housing; b. a right shoulder assembly (300.1A) operably coupled to the first and second right motor, the right shoulder assembly comprising: i) a first right gear rotationally coupled to the first right motor; ii) a right output gear operably coupled to the first right gear; and iii) a second right gear (115.1A) rotationally coupled to the second right motor and operably coupled to the right output gear; c. a left shoulder assembly (300.1B) operably coupled to the first and second left motor, the left shoulder assembly comprising: i) a first left gear rotationally coupled to the first left motor; ii) a left output gear operably coupled to the first left gear; and iii) a second left gear (115.1B) rotationally coupled to the second left motor and operably coupled to the left output gear; d. a right robotic arm operably coupled to the right output gear; and e. a left robotic arm operably coupled to the left output gear, wherein rotation of the first and second right gears at a same speed in a same direction causes the right output gear to rotate around an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the first right motor such that the right robotic arm moves between a right arm insertion position and a right arm operational position, and wherein rotation of the first and second left gears at a same speed in a same direction causes the left output gear to rotate around an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the first left motor such that the left robotic arm moves between a left arm insertion position and a left arm operational position, wherein rotation of the first and second right gears at a same speed in an opposite direction causes the right output gear to rotate around an axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the first right motor, and wherein rotation of the first and second left gears at a same speed in an opposite direction causes the left output gear to rotate around an axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the first left motor. a. an elongate device body comprising: i) a body housing;
