Abstract
We present an exchangeable hand system designed for portable manipulators. It is developed for achieving lightness in weight especially at the end of a robot arm to improve performance and safety of a complete manipulation system. We prepared several end effectors with simple functions that can be used interchangeably. We describe concepts and details of our system including a new exchanger mechanism and a new versatile hand called WitchHand
