To achieve guaranteed stability the AirArm stands on a double base made of stainless steel and plastic. The design of the robot arm, powered by hydraulics, was inspired by natural models, such as: lobster claws, grasshopper legs or human arms. The research project of these three universities shows a novel hydraulic and bionic robot, which is able to catch water droplets or throw darts thanks to its artificial muscles and the resulting human-like movement.
