摘要: Herein is disclosed a multifunctional tool with replaceable tips. The may be used as an end-effector on robotic arm in space. Each tip, when the holder, driven by common motor. same motor can also to control orientation of tip about axis. tips are holder simple and robust means, resulting lighter cheaper tool. variously adapted perform variety functions, including cutting, grasping, drilling, driving, etc. Since only one actuator, single actuator drive both rotation tool, mass saved. Use such reduces overall system power requirements, complexity.
