Robotic end effectors for templating fasteners and related systems and methods

A robotic method, comprising:

• sequentially receiving fasteners from a source of the fasteners into a receiving position;
• sequentially moving the fasteners from the receiving position to a deploying position;
• and
• sequentially translating the fasteners from the deploying position to ports of a fastener holder;
• wherein the robotic method is performed by an end effector that comprises:
• a housing;
• a positioner supported by the housing and configured to sequentially receive the fasteners from the source of the fasteners into the receiving position and sequentially move the fasteners from the receiving position to the deploying position;
• and
• a translator supported by the housing relative to the positioner and configured to sequentially translate the fasteners from the deploying position to the ports of the fastener holder;
• wherein the positioner comprises:
• a rotatable structure defining a plurality of channels, each configured to receive a fastener and sequentially define the receiving position and the deploying position;
• and
• a motor operatively coupled to the rotatable structure and configured to selectively rotate the rotatable structure;
• and
• wherein the sequentially receiving is performed by the positioner, the sequentially moving is performed by the positioner, and the sequentially translating is performed by the translator.
