Traditional robot grippers usually rely on compressed air (pneumatic systems), which use significant energy, are noisy, bulky, and not easily adaptable or safe for close interaction with people.

Tools like this can handle tasks that pre-built robotic grippers might damage or find challenging to manage. Another test involved the robot anchoring itself and adhering to various surfaces.
