ABSTRACT:
A device for coupling a robot to a column-mounted shift lever of a vehicle includes a line extending between the robot and shift lever for holding the shift lever in an unlocked position. An adapter is attached to the lever, and an actuator is coupled to the adapter via a ball joint. The actuator is also coupled to the robot for movement of the actuator to move the shift lever.
