Abstract
A robotic tool system includes a gripping mechanism having a pair of movable jaws that extend along a longitudinal axis. Each jaw has a convex inner surface relative to the axis that cooperate to define a first adaptor. A tool assembly includes a tool and a second adaptor connected to the tool and having a biconvex projection. The jaws are movable towards one another from a first condition spaced from the second adaptor to a second condition in which the first adaptor engages the second adaptor to securely fasten the tool assembly to the gripping mechanism.
