  • Publication number: 20160332309
    Abstract: A Gripper Remote Tool Change System (GRTCS) provides a locking guided tool changer assembly that interfaces with multiple tools, locks onto a tool holder, and is easily recognizable by a robot's gripper camera. The GRTCS provides an intermediate solution for remote tool changing that does not require a user to physically interact with the robot to change a tool. The GRTCS may be a completely mechanical product that does not require altering the electronics on the base robotic platform to which it may be attached.
