An arm module has a housing with a first connection side and a second connection side. The first connection side is embodied to be controllably rotatable about an axis of rotation relative to the second connection side. The first connection side has a rotatable first connection device and the second connection side has a second connection device fixed to the housing. A multifunctional rotation transfer system is provided for rotational transmission of data signals, electrical energy and fluid. A drive device is provided comprising a shaft assembly having an output shaft, which is connected to the rotatable first connection device of the first connection side in a torque-proof manner, wherein the shaft assembly forms a section of the multifunctional rotation transfer system.
