While collaborative robotic arms offer significant safety benefits, safety of the overall manipulator system cannot be guaranteed unless equally strict safety requirements are satisfied by the accompanying end-effector. Current robot grippers are not made in a way that fulfills such a requirement, resulting in collaborative robots needing to operate in a protected environment. This paper presents ...
