This paper proposes the design of a new robot end-effector based on compliant constant-force mechanism for robot-assisted manufacturing, such as polishing. One uniqueness of the proposed end-effector lies in that it offers a constant contact force without using a force sensor and controller. An industrial robot is adopted to position the end-effector and the end-effector regulates the contact forc...
