Abstract: A robot gripper for handling objects having at least one retaining foot by means of a robot. A gripper main part has a connection flange designed to secure the robot gripper to a tool flange of a robot arm, and a counter bearing that is connected to the gripper main part and has a cutout. The shape and size of the cutout is adapted to the retaining foot of the object to receive same in a formfitting manner. An actuator is arranged on the gripper main part, preferably in an adjustably mounted manner, and is designed to press against the retaining foot in a clamping position to fix the retaining foot against the counter bearing, and to release the retaining foot in a release position such that the counter bearing can be adjusted relative to the retaining foot to allow the retaining foot to be released from the robot gripper.

Abstract: A human-robot collaboration (HRC) workstation includes a robot having a robot controller and a robot arm comprising a plurality of joints and links connecting the joints. The joints are automatically adjusted by the controller to move or hold in space a tool or workpiece held by the robot arm by adjusting the joints. The (HRC) workstation further comprises a mounting device having a stationary base frame and a fixing device configured to hold in place a workpiece or a tool such that the workpiece and/or tool held on the mounting device may be assembled and/or machined in interaction with the robot arm. The mounting device includes a mechanical adjusting device and a triggering device controlled by the robot controller and the adjusting device is configured to automatically adjust the fixing device relative to the base frame from an operating position to a safety position when the triggering device is activated.
