If you don't need it to be stiff, then you can unroll a thin sheet of spring steel, much like a tape measure. This can be motorized, as the steel tape can be shot out (at about 25cm/sec) and recoiled with the same motor.

Is the arm simply touching something 6-7 meters away? If so, then the above suggestion works well.

Good luck,
Andy B.
