This invention describes a robot gripper designed to pick up, move, and drop items like suitcases. It works by having a flat surface underneath the item and a pushing device above it. Both parts move simultaneously in opposite directions, squeezing and transporting the item, with the claims specifically detailing a mechanical system using gears and a belt to link their movements.
Why it matters: Filed before the widespread availability of affordable, precise robot arms and integrated control systems, which now make specialized grippers for automated logistics more practical.
