This article mainly centers around the definition of end effector, its types and applications in robotics.<\/p>\n

What Is An Robot End Effector?<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

In robotics, it refers to any of various tools that can be mounted at the end of a robotic arm and that are used to interact with or manipulate objects. It\u2019s the part of the robot that interacts with the environment, which is why it\u2019s also called the \u201cbusiness end\u201d of every robot.<\/p>\n

The structure of it depends on the task the robot will be performing and the object the robot will be handling.<\/p>\n

In manufacturing, a robot arm can accommodate only certain tasks without changes to its end effector’s ancillary hardware and\/or programming. If a robot needs to pick something up, a type of robot hand called a gripper is the most functional end effector. If a robot needs to be able to tighten screws, however, then the robot must be fitted with an end effector that can spin.<\/p>\n
