Abstract
A connecting device configured to couple to a robot arm and a robot tool includes a first connecting part including a fixing member having at least one first magnetic part, at least one first optical fiber connector, and at least one first electrical connector which are coupled to the fixing member. A second connecting part which is removable and securely coupled to the first connecting part including a fixing member having at least one second magnetic part, at least one second optical fiber connector, and at least one first conduction connector which are coupled to the fixing member. The first magnetic part and the second magnetic part have opposite magnetic force. When the first magnetic part contacts the second magnetic part, the first optical fiber connector connect to the second optical fiber connector and the first electrical connector connects to the first conduction connector.
