Abstract
Robotically drivable interface mechanism for coupling to a device and for coupling to an end effector attachable to the end of a robot arm. The interface mechanism having a first coupler to couple with an associated second coupler on the device and a third coupler to couple with an associate fourth coupler on the end effector. The first coupler is connectable to an actuator included in the end effector, when the interface mechanism is coupled to the end effector. The first coupler has at least one first roller for cooperating with the second coupler formed by at least one slot in the device.
