Abstract

An end effector is provided. The end effector comprises an operation part, a support body, and a detection surface. The operation part is configured to project toward one end, thereby coming into contact with an object. The support body is configured to flexibly support the operation part so that the position and/or orientation of the operation part is displaced when force generated due to contact between the operation part and the object is received. The detection surface is located at the other end of the operation part relative to the one end, the detection surface being configured to not come into contact with the object, and the position and/or orientation of the detection surface being displaced together with that of the operation part. In a state in which the end effector is attached to a robot arm, the detection surface is disposed so as to face a sensor that is capable of measuring the position and/or orientation of the detection surface.
