Summary

End effectors are most often found as end elements of industrial robots. We can also meet them at service robots. The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basic types of effectors, their properties and requirements. The issue of selection of available effectors based on the data of effector manufacturers will also be discussed. Graduates of this course will acquire not only knowledge of effectors, but will also be able to select an effector according to the procedures designed for this purpose.
