ABSTRACT

Techniques are described for testing whether an end effector, or component
thereof, is correctly or incorrectly installed to a manipulation system. In an
example, a manipulation system can include a manipulator arm configured to
receive an end effector having a first moveable jaw, a transducer configured
to provide first effort information of the end effector as the end effector
moves, and a processor configured to provide a command signal to effect a
first test move of the first moveable jaw, and to provide an installation
status of the end effector using the first effort information of the first
test move.
