Abstract

A system for handling a component of a vehicle includes a body, at least one protrusion, a robot, and a gripper structure. The body is configured to house electrical components and defines a longitudinal axis. The protrusion extends outwardly from the body along an axis. The protrusion includes a cylindrical shaped inner portion at a proximal end of the protrusion and a tapered outer portion near a distal end of the protrusion. The robot is configured to move the body. The gripper structure is secured to the robot and includes at least one mounting feature. The mounting feature includes a portion comprising a shape that corresponds to the cylindrical shaped inner portion of the protrusion such that the gripper structure is configured to be removably coupled to the component.
