Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for manufacturing with an end effector. The end effector includes a coupling device configured to be functionally coupled to a robotic arm of an articulating robot, first and second tool arms coupled to and extending from the coupling device, each of the first and second tool arms configured to independently and controllably extend and retract from the coupling device and configured to controllably rotate relative to the coupling device, a first tool functionally coupled to the first tool arm and configured to independently perform a first manufacturing task, the first tool configured to controllably rotate relative to the first tool arm, and a second tool functionally coupled to the second tool arm and configured to independently perform a second manufacturing task, the second tool configured to controllably rotate relative to the second tool arm.
