ABSTRACT

A device for gripping an object includes a base element and at least two
gripping arms held on the base element. The at least two gripping arms are
movable relative to one another and the base element into a configuration
suitable for gripping and picking up the object. Preferably at least three
gripping arms are provided, with each arm being able to move independently of
one another relative to the base element, and a sensor such as a camera
provides signals to electronics which can determine the position of the at
least three gripping arms and control movement of the gripping arms into
position to grip and pick up the object. A method for gripping and picking up
an object using the gripping device is also provided.
