# Gripper for item movement

## Abstract

The present invention relates to gripper for gripping an item. The gripper comprises a shaft extending longitudinally along an axial direction, a gripper head mounted on the shaft such that it is allowed to slide along the axial direction with respect to the shaft. The gripper head comprises a housing and at least one movable arm, wherein each movable arm is movable relative to the housing. The gripper is configured such that a relative motion along the axial direction between the shaft and the gripper head causes the at least one movable arm to move. The present invention may also relate to systems comprising the gripper, uses of the gripper and methods for gripping an item with the gripper.
