A low-cost 3D-printed quick-swapping system built on a 1-DoF gripper is reported to generalize across everyday tools.
The demo emphasizes extreme affordability and simplicity: the system can even be mounted on a $7 hand, suggesting a practical path for modular robot end-effectors and tool-changing setups.
