    Abstract: An end-effector assembly includes a master boom, a frame rail coupled to the master boom, at least one branch rail movably coupled to the frame rail by a branch lock, and a swing arm movably coupled to the at least one branch rail by a swing lock. The swing lock includes a clamp configured to movably secure the swing arm to the branch rail. A pivot shaft extends through the clamp and the swing arm and is configured to rotationally secure the swing arm to the clamp. A swing plate is secured to the pivot shaft and is configured for engagement with a configuration tool. Further, a locking fastener extends through the swing plate and into the pivot shaft. The locking fastener is configured to lock and unlock the swing lock in position along the branch rail.

    Abstract: A robotic system includes a robot, an end-effector assembly disposed at a distal end of a main boom, rotatable parallel frame rails, and tool support branches. Tool modules are connected to a tool support branch and rotatable/translatable with respect to a respective branch axis. A configuration tool has a control block engaged by a wrist of the robot and a work tool. A controller commands the robot to automatically configure the end-effector assembly by adjusting the frame rails and/or tool support branches or tool modules using the work tool, doing so in response to an identified work task. Engagement of the wrist with the tool changer is commanded and the identified work task is executed using the end-effector assembly. A configuration stand may automatically flip the end-effector assembly to a configuration location, command engagement of the wrist with the tool changer, and configure the end-effector assembly.
