Abstract

Robotic systems with griping mechanisms, and related systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the robotic system includes a robotic arm and an end-of-arm tool coupled to the robotic arm. The end-of-arm tool can include a housing, a vacuum-gripping component, and a clamping component. The vacuum-gripping component can be operably coupled to a lower surface of the housing to apply a suction force to an upper surface of a target object. The clamping component can include first and second clamping elements. The first clamping element projects at least partially beneath the lower surface of the housing and is movable along a lateral axis to engage a first side surface of the target object. Similarly, the second clamping element projects at least partially beneath the lower surface of the frame and is movable along the lateral axis to engage with a second side surface of the target object.
