ABSTRACT:
The gripper mechanism is housed in a substantially rectangular box-like enclosure and includes a plurality of guide rails to align and support an object retrieved from an object storage location by the finger gripper mechanism. The finger gripper mechanism is attached to a carriage which functions to translate the finger gripper mechanism from a position proximate to the object storage location to a position within the enclosure. A degree of compliance between the gripper fingers and the object in the selected object storage location is provided by a centering spring that functions to couple the finger gripper mechanism to the carriage.
