THE NEED TO INCREASE THE VERSATILITY AND PROFITABILITY OF ROBOT ARMS/CELLS IS LEADING MANY IN ROBOTICS TO PURSUE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF MORE PRACTICAL AND VERSATILE END EFFECTORS. THIS PAPER DESCRIBES THE DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF A NEW END EFFECTOR (TWO ROLL GRIPPER) WHOSE DESIGN LENDS ITSELF TO A WIDE VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS. DISCUSSED IN THIS PAPER ARE GRIPPER SIZE, TRACK SHAPE AND COMPOSITION, AND SENSORS WHICH PROVIDE CONTINUOUS FEEDBACK ON TRACK AND JAW POSITION.
