Torque-limiting end effector

A gladhand coupling assembly, comprising:

• an end effector including:
• a clamp capable of coupling to a gladhand;
• a clutch configured to engage or disengage the clamp, the clutch being axially aligned with a drive shaft of a traveler movable to adjust the clamp between a clamped configuration and an unclamped configuration;
• a motor configured to control a configuration of the clamp and selectively engageable to the clamp via the clutch;
• and
• a linear actuator assembly including:
• a platform supporting the end effector;
• a lifting column configured to adjust a height of the platform;
• and
• at least one linear actuator configured to adjust a horizontal position of the platform.

A vehicle capable of coupling a pressurized air line with a trailer, the vehicle comprising:

• a gladhand comprising:
• a mating surface couplable to an identified surface;
• and
• a collar rotatable around an axis perpendicular to the mating surface;
• an end effector comprising:
• a clamp configured to removably couple to the gladhand;
• a clutch configured to engage or disengage the clamp, the clutch being axially aligned with a drive shaft of a traveler movable to adjust the clamp between a clamped configuration and an unclamped configuration;
• and
• a motor to rotate the end effector.
