What are some examples of soft robotic grippers used in food processing and packaging, and how do they handle delicate food items, adapt to variable shapes or sizes, and ensure hygienic handling for applications such as sorting, packing, or quality control in food manufacturing facilities?

Examples include vacuum-based suction grippers, compliant fingers, and gel-based manipulators designed for gentle handling of food products. These grippers use soft materials, adaptive structures, and sanitary designs to grasp, lift, and manipulate items without damaging or contaminating them, ensuring food safety, product quality, and operational efficiency in food processing and packaging operations.
