Structure for a robotic end effector

A stabilization device for a robotic end effector comprising first and second robotic actuators capable of moving between an undeployed state and a deployed state by curving along a central axis of rotation, respective distal ends of the first and second robotic actuators being brought into proximity with a palm region of an end effector base when the first and second-actuators are in the deployed state, wherein:

• the first robotic actuator has a first actuator base on a radially interior side of the first robotic actuator and the second robotic actuator has a second actuator base on a radially interior side of the second robotic actuator,
• the first robotic actuator and the second robotic actuator are deployed on the robotic end effector so that the first actuator base and the second actuator base are parallel to each other and in a facing configuration when the first robotic actuator and the second robotic actuator are in the undeployed state, and
• the palm region comprises a space on the end effector base between the first robotic actuator and the second robotic actuator,
• the stabilization device comprising:
• a stabilization device base sized and shaped to fit in the palm region of the robotic end effector;
• and
• at least one ridge extending away from the base by a height, the ridge having a length extending parallel to the central axis of rotation of the one or more robotic actuators, wherein the at least one ridge has a side that is concave or flat and defines a target area that is positioned sothat, when the first and second robotic actuators are in the deployed state, at least a portion of a target object is provided in the target area and is secured in place between the distal ends of the first and second actuators and the target area.
