Abstract
An end effector for operating logistic robotic systems. The end effector comprises a frame assembly and a gripping mechanism. The gripping mechanism grasps the object using one or more grasping element. The grasping element is configurable between an open configuration and an activated configuration. The gripping mechanism is independently moveable relative to the frame assembly in one or more directions. The end effector is configured to engage the object such that the frame assembly contacts a first portion of the object, and the gripping mechanism contacts a second portion of the object. The frame assembly comprises a first frame element and a second frame element configured for movement relative to the first frame element based on a contact of the second frame element with the first portion of the object. The end effector can be used in robotic picking systems to handle packages and similar items.
