Abstract
A tool reconfiguration system includes a robot, an end effector, a photogrammetry module, an adjustment module, and a robot control module. The end effector is configured to be attached to the robot and to a vehicle component. The end effector is adjustable between a plurality of configurations. The photogrammetry module includes a first camera that is configured to capture images of the end effector. The adjustment module is configured to receive the images of the end effector and determine whether the end effector has been adjusted from a first configuration to a second configuration based on at least one of the images. The robot control module is configured to, based on the determination, selectively actuate one or more components of the end effector and adjust a present configuration of the end effector to one of the first configuration and the second configuration.
