An apparatus and system for managing a retractable arm configured with a flexible conductor for continuous electrical connectivity are described. The apparatus includes a housing supporting the retractable arm, operable to extend and retract along a defined movement path. A support assembly guides the arm using curvature structures or other mechanisms for stable positioning. The retractable arm exhibits bistability to maintain rigid extended and compact retracted states. A flexible conductor maintains continuous electrical connectivity between a modular device and a controller via a rotary joint assembly, which permits rotational movement while preserving signal and power connections. A horizontal movement track provides structural guidance for lateral positioning, while deployment rails provide structural alignment. One or more sensors enable dynamic adjustment of arm operations based on environmental conditions or proximity information. The controller executes control signals to reposition the arm, enabling obstacle detection, clear path validation, and safety protocols.
