End of Arm Tooling (EOAT) refers to any device attached to the end of the robot arm. These are the ones that allow the robot to interact with parts and assist in completing a task.

EOAT require accuracy, repeatability and durability, and they have to be easy to maintain and optimally designed to be lightweight so as to attain fast speeds.
