SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OPERATING AN END EFFECTOR

Abstract: systems and methods for operating an end effector include an end effector for grasping a material, a drive system coupled to the end effector, a user interface, and a processor. the processor is configured to actuate the drive system to clamp the material using the end effector and in response to detecting successful clamping of the material, display a timer on the user interface. the timer provides an indication of when conditions will be safe to proceed with stapling of the material clamped by the end effector.
