  • End effector tool changer for robotic systems
    Patent number: 12285856
    Abstract: End effector tool changers for a robotic system are disclosed. The end effector tool changer is physically compact, mechanically robust, has high radial strength, prevents undesirable rotations, uses minimal sensory input, is suitable for a wide variety of tools, and operates quickly. The end effector tool changer includes a robotic arm attachment portion, including a first magnetic part and a first engagement part, and a tool attachment portion, including a second magnetic part and a second engagement part, where the first engagement part is configured to engage with the second engagement part, the first engagement part and the second engagement part are selected from the group consisting of a pin and a socket, and the first magnetic part spatially and magnetically corresponds to the second magnetic part.
