Abstract
Methods and apparatus that adapt programming and/or control of a robot. The robot has at least one attachment area that can removably couple with any one of a plurality of end effectors. The programming and/or control is adapted based on received parameters of an end effector attached (or to be attached) to the attachment area of the robot. Some implementations are directed to adapting graphical user interface output of a robot programming application based on one or more parameters of an end effector for a robot being programmed via the robot programming application. Some implementations are directed to adapting control of a robot based on one or more parameters of an end effector attached (or to be attached) to the robot.
