Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “ “The present disclosure relates generally to robotic end effectors and more spec ifically to normalizing end effectors relative to a workpiece. “Robotic end effectors are used to perform operations such as drilling, fastener installation, inspection, surface preparation, or other operations on workpiece s during manufacturing. Robotic end effectors are first normalized relative to t he workpiece prior to performing an operation on the workpiece. Normalizing an e nd effector can be more difficult than desired. Conventional normalizing compone nts can be more complicated than desired or limited in application.
