A compliant coupling mechaism has a first part (10) connectable to a robot arm (A) and a second part (20) connectable to a robot gripper (G). The mechanism is arranged to allow displacement of the second part relative to first part along a ZZ axis direction, and to allow further relative displacement along and/or about (XX) and (YY) axis directions. A locking device (40) prevents such further relative displacement unless a displacement along the (ZZ) axis direction exceeds a preset amount. |
