robotic arms

Automated grasping appendages

Robotic arms are mechanical limbs designed to mimic human arm movement, typically used in manufacturing, surgery, or space exploration.

They range from simple grippers on assembly lines to sophisticated prosthetics and the manipulators on spacecraft: The robotic arm on the space station captured the cargo vessel.

Industrial robotic arms weld, paint, and assemble with precision humans can't match.
