1. The elongated member has an end effector at its distal end.

2. Manipulating industrial robots. Automatic end effector exchange systems. Vocabulary and presentation of characteristics.

3. A spare latching end effector for the station's robotic arm,( ) and a spare trailing umbilical system for the rail car that the arm travels on.

4. One embodiment of the present invention provides an end effector for using with a substrate handler.

5. The position and orientation errors of the robot end effector are caused by a number of factors such as tolerances in manufacturing and assembly, mechanical transfer errors and so on.

6. The end effector attaches itself to the end of the robot arm.

7. A staple holding jaw of the end effector is coupled to another jaw for grasping tissue to be stapled.

8. An electrocautery end effector is mounted to the wrist member.

9. The end effector also comprises a plurality of staple drivers moveable supported within the staple cartridge.

10. The end effector comprises a free end having a substrate supporting plane configured to support a substrate and positioned that substrate at a first angle relative to a horizontal plane.

11. One of the most popular types of end effector is a gripper.

12. In order to improve the safety of minimally invasive celiac surgery, a new robotic end effector is designed, which is used to hold the surgical instruments.

13. The effects of the joint clearance variables to the position repeatability of the robot end effector are analyzed using a two-dimensional vector method to define the joint clearance variables.

14. The typical industrial robots consists of 4 major components: the manipulator arm, the end effector, the actuator and the controller.

15. In addition, the device includes a tubular channel running through the elongated member which is in fluid communication with the end effector.

16. On the basis of the robot kinematics and the theory of errors, formulas for calculating the position and orientation errors of the robot end effector are derived.

17. In the end, this method is also applied to research of end effector kinematic characteristics of parallel robot with compound chains, and the concrete expressions are given too.

18. The sphere-wrist can be regarded as an important independent structure of a manipulator. Static errors of sphere-wrist will affect the pose precision of the end effector.

19. The stapler can adapted to drive staples into tissue having a pattern conforming with the selected shape of the end effector.

20. By the partial optimization to the robot with a sphere-wrist, the kinematic accuracy of the end effector of the whole robot can be increased to some extent.
