robot arm
Automated factory appendage
A robot arm is a mechanical limb designed to mimic the movements of a human arm, typically used in manufacturing, surgery, or space exploration.
Industrial robot arms weld car frames and assemble electronics.
Surgical robot arms allow doctors to operate with precision through tiny incisions.
The term applies whether the arm is autonomous or remotely controlled: The robot arm on the space station grappled the cargo module.
