Rochu softgrippers operate by using compliant, elastomer-based fingers that deform when actuated, allowing the gripper to conform to an object’s shape. Actuation is typically achieved through pneumatic or vacuum pressure applied to internal chambers, producing bending or curling motion that encloses the target item. This adaptive compliance helps distribute contact forces evenly, improving grip stability while reducing the risk of damage to delicate surfaces.

Rochu Soft Grippers use a modular architecture where the gripper is composed of interchangeable components (e.g., fingers, bases, manifolds, and adapters). This modular design allows faster configuration changes, easier maintenance, and simplified replacement of wear parts without swapping the entire unit.
