Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “A robot, such as a robotic arm, is configured to control an e nd effector to interact with the environment. An example end effector is an acce ssory that the robot uses to perform an operation. “An example robotic arm is a computer-controlled robot that is capable of moving in multiple degrees of freedom. The robotic arm may be supported by a base and may include one or more links interconnected by joints. The joints may be config ured to support rotational motion and/or translational displacement relative to the base. A tool flange may be on an opposite end of the robotic arm from the ba se. The tool flange contains an end effector interface. The end effector interfa ce enables an accessory to connect to the robotic arm. In an example operation, the joints are controlled to position the robotic arm to enable the accessory to implement a predefined operation. For instance, if the accessory is a welding t ool, the joints may be controlled to position, and thereafter to reposition, the robotic arm so that the welding tool is at successive locations where welding i s to be performed on a workpiece. The end effector interface is generally limite d to connecting to a single accessory.”
