Key Highlights

End-effectors, otherwise mentioned as end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), are peripheral devices attached to a robot's wrist, allowing it to interact with its task. The majority of the EOATs are either mechanical or electromechanical. Serving the pick and drop via grippers, process tools, or sensors, they range from two-fingered grippers to incorporating complex sensor systems for advanced robotic inspection.
The advancement in industrial and collaborative robot arms has been growing, with the end-effector evolution becoming rapid in the past few years. This is partially driven by the demand for dexterous manipulation in pick-and-place operations such as e-commerce order fulfillment. The end effectors of current times are becoming more intelligent and potent as a machine learning software. Safety features are increasingly being combined within the EOAT and the ability to adapt to its environment using machine vision. For example, conveyors are being replaced with automated guided vehicles, transporting bins containing mixed products in specific applications.
As robots are working even more closely with humans, there is a need for them to be able to respond to the users and adapt their behaviors. Over the next few years, researchers are anticipated to recognize basic human behaviors and adapt these actions of robots to respond to them. Over the next few years, this would develop into much more advanced programs adapting to complex task needs.
Further, government initiatives across countries encourage robotics adoption to augment the demand for end-effectors. For instance, the U.S. Federal Government has commenced a program called the National Robotics Initiative (NRI) to bolster the capabilities of building domestic robots in the country and encourage research activities in the field. In February 2021, The National Science Foundation (NSF) issued a new initiative, NRI-3.0. NRI-3.0 is supported by multiple agencies of the federal government, including NSF, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Department of Transportation (DOT), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
