AirArm is a robot arm.

Many people developed it together: Axel Thallemer, Christoph Ament, Martin S. Fischer, Hartmut Witte from Germany and Martin Danzer from Austria. These universities participated in the development: The University of Arts in Linz, the Ilmenau University of Technology and the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena.

The AirArm has a double stand made from stainless steel and plastics. The double stand makes it very stable. The AirArm is driven hydraulically. Hydraulically means: Power is transmitted with the help of a liquid. A car has hydraulic brakes, for example.

The AirArm looks similar to the leg of a grasshopper or to a human arm. With its artificial muscles, it can move like a person. It can catch drops or throw a little arrow like in a darts game.
