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 "end-effector ...

End effectors are devices that are attached to the wrist of a robot. Another name for an end effector is end of arming tool (EOAT). They can act as robot peripheral accessories or devices because they ...

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 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 ...

OnRobot is helping manufacturers solve production issues by developing grippers and other end effectors that make robots effective. The need for cobots – those robots that work well with humans – was ...

Using Rexroth's non-contact Transfer units (NCT), the End Effector creates a dynamic lifting force using positive airflow (Bernoulli principle) to handle solar photovoltaic wafers without requiring a ...
