A mechanical end effector comprising at least two movable parts, wherein each of the movable parts is mounted on at least two supports, wherein a relative position of the movable parts with respect to each other is variable by changing the relative position of the supports with respect to each other, and wherein the supports of the movable parts comprise bendable members, wherein the bendable members are equipped with mechanical properties that arrange for flexing of the bendable members when a force applied by the supports of the movable parts exceeds a predefined value and the bendable members are embodied as cooperating bands to arrange that flexing of the cooperating bands provides a visual feedback to a user.
A mechanical end effector comprising at least two movable parts, wherein each of the movable parts is mounted on at least one support, wherein a relative position of the movable parts with respect to each other is variable by changing the relative position of the supports with respect to each other, and wherein the supports of the movable parts comprise bendable members that are equipped with mechanical properties that arrange for flexing of said members when a force applied by the supports of the movable parts exceeds a predefined value, wherein the bendable members are embodied as cooperating bands that are arranged to flex and deform to an extent that is limited by a relative position of the cooperating bands that restricts a room for bending of said pair of cooperating bands.
