Abstract: The system includes a robot interface disposed on a robot arm, and an end effector configured to selectively couple to the robot arm via the robot interface. The end effector includes an upper jaw, a lower jaw, and a pair of arms configured to carry a substrate. The upper jaw and the lower jaw are spaced apart in a first direction and biased together, and the pair of arms are spaced apart in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. When the end effector is coupled to the robot arm, the robot interface is disposed between the upper jaw and the lower jaw. To exchange the end effector, the upper jaw and the lower jaw can be separated to release the robot interface.

Abstract: An air-to-air coupling 13 (e.g. for receiving a probe in probe-and-drogue refuelling) comprises retaining members 19, 27 for interacting with a further member (e.g. a refuelling probe) to hold the further member in place. An active drive system 39, 21 may drive the holding members and may thereby also actively drive the further member into place. Alternatively the active drive 39, 21 may drive another member such as a locking member 31 to hold the retaining members 19, 27 in position once the further member is in place. The active drive releases the retaining members 19, 27 or moves them out of position to allow the further member to be removed. This allows the further member to be inserted and removed with a lower force than is used to hold it in place. The coupling may also be used for in-air recovery of an unmanned aircraft.
