# Apparatus for automatically fastening chemical coupler

## Abstract

An apparatus for automatically fastening a chemical coupler to a connector of an automatic clean quick coupler (ACQC) system, includes a main body, a multi-degree of freedom (DOF) robot arm on the main body, a gripper on the multi-DOF robot arm that is configured to grip the chemical coupler, a vision sensor on the multi-DOF robot arm, and a controller connected to the gripper, the multi-DOF robot arm, and the vision sensor. The controller uses information about an environment surrounding the multi-DOF robot arm acquired by the vision sensor, to control an operation of the multi-DOF robot arm and an operation of the gripper.
