The method of claim 11 wherein the step of establishing electronic communication between the end effector control unit and the robot control unit occurring on physical engagement of the end effector to the robot wrist. 13. The method of claim 11 wherein the step of robot performing at least one physical operation by the robot according to the transferred robot operating instructions comprises: the robot positioning the robot wrist in three dimensional coordinate space to position an end effector tool center point (TCP) of the end effector tool at a predetermined three dimensional coordinate position for the performing the physical assembly operation by the tool. 14. The method of claim 10 wherein the step of removably engaging the end effector tool to the robot wrist further comprises the step of: automatically connecting at least one service line connected to the robot with a coordinating service line connected to the end effector tool. 15. The method of claim 14 further comprising the step of: selectively activating the at least one service line for communication of at least one of an electrical current or a fluid between the robot service line and the end effector service line to perform the end effector tool physical assembly operation. 16. The method of claim 15 wherein the step of selectively activating the at least one service line further comprises the steps of: transferring stored operation instructions from the end effector memory storage device to a service line apparatus control device. 17. The method of claim 10 wherein the step of removably engaging the end effector tool to the robot wrist further comprises the steps of: wirelessly transferring robot operation instructions to the robot control unit from the end effector control unit;executing the transferred operation instructions by the robot to move the robot wrist to a predetermined three dimensional coordinate position where an end effector connector plate is positioned; andestablishing physical contact between the robot wrist and end effector connector plate to physically engage the end effector to the robot wrist.
