robotic arm
Factory assembly manipulator
A robotic arm is a programmable mechanical limb designed to manipulate objects or perform tasks, typically in manufacturing, surgery, or space exploration.
Like a human arm, it has joints and segments that allow movement in multiple directions: The robotic arm on the assembly line welds car frames.
Prosthetic limbs controlled by neural signals are also called robotic arms.
