UNMET NEED
Most manufacturers use, for handling their products during production or assembly, mechanical grippers on which they typically attach a set of jaws dedicated to grasping a particular geometry. However, a different set, often custom-made, must be used for each different object shape. A possible yet very costly alternative is to use articulated robotic hands, which can adapt to any shape, but besides their cost, controlling their numerous actuators is complex and time consuming. A versatile, simple solution that can grip both soft and rigid objects, fragile or sturdy, heavy or light, would be ideal.
