ABSTRACT

With the rapid development of automation and intelligence industries, the performance of robot end effectors directly affects the operational efficiency and application range of robot systems, so its research and optimization are particularly crucial. This study first identified the performance bottlenecks and limitations of existing robot end effector designs in different application scenarios through systematic analysis. Then, a new type of actuator prototype was developed using modular design methods, combined with the latest materials science research and mechatronics integration technology. In the experimental verification stage, the effectiveness of the new design was confirmed by comparing and testing the performance of new and old actuators in key performance indicators such as precision, response speed, and load capacity. The average deviation was generally low, mostly between 0.05 and 0.09 millimeters, indicating that the actuator can accurately locate the preset target position in most cases. The value of this study lies in the fact that the proposed end effector design scheme not only improves the operational performance of robots, but also has good universality and adaptability, laying a solid foundation for the future development of robotics technology. These achievements are expected to greatly promote the widespread application of robotics technology in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and services, and improve the automation level of the entire industry.
