A robot gripper is a device used in robotics to grasp and manipulate objects. It functions similarly to a human hand, allowing robots to pick up, hold, and move items in various environments. Robot grippers can be designed for specific tasks, such as picking fruits in agriculture or assembling parts in manufacturing. These grippers come in different types, including mechanical grippers, which use fingers or claws, and soft grippers, which are made from flexible materials. The choice of gripper depends on the application and the nature of the objects being handled, making them essential components in modern automation and robotics.
