# End effector, flaw detection system, and method for inspecting inspection target

## Abstract

A robot arm (40) is provided with an end effector (70) that grips a probe so as to bring the probe (50) into contact with an inspection target. The end effector includes an elastic member that is compressed by a force applied to the probe from the inspection target, thereby allowing the probe to be displaced in the direction of the compression.
