发明名称 GRIPPING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A GRIPPING APPARATUS
摘要 The present application relates to gripping apparatuses that may be used for gripping or otherwise handling objects. A gripping apparatus may include one or more gripping members configured to act as an actuator and to grip an object. A first gripping member having an asymmetrical shape may comprise of an integrated actuator that includes an asymmetrical cross-section, wherein the first gripping member is configured to be displaced upon actuation of the actuator in a direction based on the asymmetrical cross-section of the actuator. The gripping apparatus may further include an actuating source configured to provide an actuating medium for actuating each actuator of the one or more gripping members. The present application further provides methods for manufacturing gripping apparatuses and methods for using the gripping apparatus.
