Abstract

An end effector of a surgical robot, including a force/torque sensor module mounted to a robot arm, an end effector frame to which the force/torque sensor module is coupled, a clamping unit installed in the end effector frame, and a tool mounting unit detachably coupled to the end effector frame by the clamping unit and supporting a surgical tool. The end effector can help to rapidly and conveniently perform a surgical operation by the robot, thereby not only safely carrying out a surgical process but also easily and accurately gripping a surgical tool during the surgical operation and setting and keeping a location of the surgical tool and a surgical site.
