The end of arm tooling for a robot almost always involves a custom made interface. You decide what the tool is and its relationship to the robot arm and that drives what the interface wants to be. An adaptor plate that mates robot to tool is usually made from steel and/or aluminum to fit the purpose.

I should also mention that robots don't read G code. You'll need a bit of specialized (and expensive) software to convert the proprietary code that normally runs a robot to G code..
