1. A system comprising:
an industrial robot comprising a robot arm end portion and a power supply circuit arranged on the robot arm to thereby provide a supply of electric current to the robot arm end portion; and
an end effector attached to the robot arm end portion, said end effector comprising:
a power tool;
an accumulator module arranged to power operation of and arranged to supply a current sufficient to meet a peak current consumption of the power tool during operation of the power tool; and
a charger in electrical contact with the power supply circuit at the robot arm end portion and arranged in electrical contact with the accumulator module to supply charging electrical current to the accumulator module from the power supply circuit.
