6. Conclusion

Gripping remains an essential topic in robotics. The various technologies presented in this article can be used to solve most of the gripping problems encountered in industrial environments. For the most part, however, they require the gripper to be dedicated to a specific family of parts or products. With the development of new robotics in dynamic environments, the need for greater flexibility means that new solutions must be developed to meet these requirements for adaptability and robustness, in order to increase the robot's interaction capabilities. Reproducing the dexterity of the human hand is still a challenge for roboticists today, and continues to be the focus of a great deal of research. The development prospects are therefore numerous if such capabilities are to be available in the long term. New active and flexible materials, strategies for synthesizing gripping and/or manipulation...
