In a similar fashion...pick up an object, place a load cell or some kind of spring gauge on the object in the gripper and pull til it pops out. That will give you an idea for that particular object. The gripping force would obviously vary from object to object.

Just remember that you can get just as much inspiration from making a simple system's details work really well as you can from just making a complex system work... - Rob [more]
