Abstract: Generally, an industrial robot is named the Single-Function Robot (SFR) if it is only able to perform one task like material handling. However, a Multi-Function Robot (MFR) predominantly performs two tasks concurrently: material handling and a special operation. This type of recent robot with this ability can raise production rate. A robot equipped by a special kind of gripper namely Grip-Gage-Go is a real-life applications of MFRs. This gripper makes MFR competent to measure the diameter of the part in transit. These MFRs are widely employed in the inspection of automotive products including crankshaft, gears, and engine valves [1]
