<p>This invention relates to a gripper for engaging, clamping, taking up and delivering delicate products, for instance fruit or vegetables, wherein the gripper comprises at least two engaging surfaces and wherein the product, upon engaging and taking up, is in contact with the gripper at the location of at least two points of contact, wherein at the location of the points of contact, the gripper comprises at least two engaging strips which are connected to a drive system with which each of the two strips is independently driven so as to be movable substantially in the said parallel direction. Further, one or several such robots can be combined with a camera system, or also, with a robot. Combining gripper pairs, or several strips per gripper gives the highly advantageous possibility not only to be able to process objects of many shapes, but especially to realize any desired orientation of such a product.</p> |
