Artificial intelligence is transforming robotics. Vision systems can identify objects, machine learning models can plan motions, and digital twins can simulate entire production environments. But for all the progress in AI, there is a moment where intelligence must leave the digital world and interact with reality. That moment happens at the gripper . In robotics, the gripper is often seen as a simple accessory attached to the robot arm. In reality, it plays a far more critical role. The gripper
