An end effector – or end-of-arm-tooling (EOAT) – is a peripheral device that attaches to a robot’s wrist. The end effector allows the robot to interact with its task. Most end effectors are mechanical ...

A team of seniors from different engineering disciplines developed a robotic arm end effector that can dispense highly viscous materials precisely and safely. The end effector has the potential to ...

A need to protect a robotic arm from desert heat, UV rays and dust brought Kolorful Kanvas Ltd. a custom project that ended ...

Though it’s the robot arms and architecture that get most of the attention, the end effectors (or end-of-arm tooling) is where the action happens…or doesn’t happen if the end effector can’t adapt to ...

A two-fingered robotic arm reaches toward a fluffy white cotton boll in a field. The device pulls in the lint from the boll and then moves on, grabbing another, and then another. This new ...
