Robot End-Effectors and Tooling

A robot arm does not touch the world with an arm. It touches the world with a tool.

That tool may be a pair of fingers, a suction cup, a magnetic plate, a soft hand, a screwdriver, a sprayer, a weld torch, a probe, or a custom nest that only makes sense for one object family. The autonomy stack can plan, the camera can estimate pose, and the controller can move smoothly, but the task still arrives at a small contact surface. If that surface is wrong, the robot will look less intelligent than it is. If that surface is well matched to the work, a modest robot can become surprisingly dependable.
