Special end points design for robotics applications

Special end points design for robotics applications

End effectors, or special end points designed for robotics applications, are essential since they allow the robot to interact with its surroundings. For a variety of uses, including industrial manufacturing, medical operations and many other, often a special end effector must be created. For building end effectors that can conform to complicated geometries and increase safety in human-robot interaction, researchers had to think out of the box and come up with a novel approaches that include the use of soft robotics, compliant materials and generative design. Furthermore, the use of sensors and machine learning algorithms can help end effectors adapt to changing environment and improve their performance.
