# Systems and methods for providing modular architectures for robotic end effectors

## Abstract

A robotic gripper includes a first modular component comprising a set of deformable members, such as a set of vacuum cups or foam members. The robotic gripper also includes a second modular component comprising a set of vacuum valves. Each vacuum valve in the set of vacuum valves is fluidly connected to at least one deformable member in the set of deformable members.
