ABSTRACT:
A multidigit arm contains a plurality of sections, each of which is positionable angularly and spatially to a predetermined degree with respect to an adjacent section. Control means are provided for selectively individually positioning each section within said arm with respect to an adjacent section, such control means including actuator means positioned within and carried by and between the arm sections. The arm may be formed into a variety of curves and position the arm end at a variety of positions.
