A gripper should be light, compliant and matched to the objects the arm can actually lift.
A robot arm gripper is often heavier than expected. A heavy gripper reduces payload at every upstream joint, so keep it compact and light.
Soft fingertips and compliance matter more than raw grip force for small arms. The goal is to hold objects without crushing them or stalling the servo.
Actuates simple parallel gripper
Light jaws and pivot points
Grip without high force
Open or closed reference
Optional grip force feedback
One servo, two jaws and rubber pads.
Add force sensor and current limits.
Treat the generated output as a prototype plan, not a certified product. Body-adjacent, high-voltage, optical-energy and mobility builds need qualified review before real-world use.
Strong enough for the object, but not so strong it overloads the wrist.
Suction works for flat, smooth objects but needs a pump.
Better fingertips and a lighter linkage.
