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.
