Title:
ROBOT SYSTEM EQUIPPED WITH MASS DETECTION, AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEM AND METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2022167996
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide an end effector to be used in a robot object gripping system that can drastically reduce or eliminate noise caused by connection tubes.SOLUTION: An end effector includes a first mounting structure, a force sensor coupled to the first mounting structure, a second mounting structure coupled to the force sensor, and a gripper assembly coupled to the second mounting structure. The force sensor is under a longitudinal direction plane, and is configured so as to measure force along a vertical axis. The end effector includes a first bracket coupled to the first mounting structure and a second bracket coupled to the second mounting structure. The first and second brackets are connected to connection tubes, and configured so as to separate the connection tubes and any force in the tubes in a longitudinal direction between the first bracket and the second bracket, which reduces noise on the force sensor from the connection tubes during operations.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
