Abstract
An apparatus, system and method for a compact reticle gripper end effector. Included in the embodiments are: a housing; two gripper jaws capable of, in combination, gripping the reticle on opposing sides thereof while the reticle is in a compact box, when the two gripper jaws are closed towards each other, the two gripper jaws being located at opposing ends of the housing; an actuator within the housing and capable of opening and closing the two gripper jaws; force feedback sensors for sensing gripping of the two gripper jaws; and a dedicated robotic interface along the housing opposite the two gripper jaws, the dedicated robotic interface capable of interfacing to a 6 axis robotic arm capable of moving the housing.
