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 ...

End Effectors provides an overview of the various devices used on robotic arms, their functions, and the applications for each component. End effectors accomplish the work of human hands but with ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
