Abstract
A robotic system, a manipulator, and a method for cooling actuators are defined. The robotic system can include an actuator of a manipulator, an end effector (e.g., a suction end effector) operably coupled to the actuator, a supply line configured to supply air to the end effector, and a cooling sleeve coupled to the actuator. The end effector can be actuated by the air. The cooling sleeve can include (i) a heat exchange surface (e.g., made of copper) in contact with the actuator, (ii) an inlet, and (iii) an outlet. The cooling sleeve can be configured to receive the air from the supply line via the inlet, to pass the air over the heat exchange surface, and direct the air out of the cooling sleeve via the outlet.
