Question

Given below are the two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The end-effector does not contribute to manipulability.
Reason (R): The end-effector is external to the manipulator.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
• C. (A) is true but (R) is false
• D. (A) is false but (R) is true

Hint:

The end-effector in robotic systems plays a crucial role in defining the functionality of the manipulator such as picking placing or sensing tasks

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The assertion is false because the end-effector does contribute to manipulability by affecting the performance and accuracy of the manipulator The reason is true as the end-effector is typically external to the manipulator and is attached at the robot’s arm’s end
