This thread was started to discuss the merit of a 'universal' gripper. It is shown gripping the fine rim of glassware which historically has been a challenge for classic and anthropomorphic grippers. If it is truly universal, it would also be able to grab a relatively large object as well. I too wonder how it would handle a tennis ball. How far around the side will it have to 'flow' before it would be able to pick up the tennis ball?
