The complete handheld form.
Integrated camera.
Planned to record the work from the tool's viewpoint, using an external computer.
Forward jaws.
Intended to grip and place parts. The powered mechanism stays enclosed behind them.
Electrical trigger.
A planned electrical control for opening and closing the powered jaws.
Detachable handle.
The removable handle is intended for human demonstrations. The planned robot version would omit the handle and trigger.
