Abstract

A coupling interface (1) for grasping by a robotic end effector comprises a body (2) and two pairs of fingers (4, 5 and 6, 7) extending outwardly from opposite sides of the body, each pair of fingers (4, 5 and 6, 7) providing a bifurcation between their inner sides (8, 9 and 10, 11) in the form of an inwardly tapering recess (12, 14). All of the inner sides of the fingers are bevelled for aligning a complementary shaped anvil with the tapering recess. The anvil (29) is also provided with a central, chamfered, "V" shaped recess (48) to engage with the corners of a square-waisted microfixture interface.
