Abstract
A robot gripper includes a main gripper body that has a connection flange designed to secure the rotational gripper to a tool flange of a robotic arm; a base element that is mounted on the main gripper body such that it can rotate about a first rotational axis by a first rotational joint able to be adjusted automatically by a first drive motor; a first gripper finger mounted such that it can rotate about a second rotational axis aligned parallel to the first rotational axis, relative to the base element, by a second rotational joint which can be adjusted automatically by a second drive motor; and at least one additional gripper finger. The second rotational joint is configured to adjust the first gripper finger individually, using the second drive motor, independently of the at least one additional gripper finger.
