Abstract: A gripper for gripping a target has a first support section, a second support section spaced apart from the first support section in a direction of a rotation center axis, and a plurality of elastic wires supported across the first support section and the second support section. A first grip area surrounded by the plurality of elastic wires is formed between the first support section and the second support section upon a relative rotation of the first support section and the second support section around the rotation center axis, and the first grip area becomes narrower until all the plurality of elastic wires come into contact with the target by the relative rotation of the first support section and the second support section, and the plurality of elastic wires is tightened to grip the target entering the first grip area.

Abstract: A specimen collection robot system for performing a specimen collection process having performing specimen collection of a subject with a swab and inserting the swab into a reagent tube has a robot including a gripper and a robot arm. The gripper is configured to grip objects with different diameters by using a same gripping portion. The robot is configured to perform the specimen collection process, by selectively gripping the swab and the reagent tube, without replacing the gripper.

Abstract: An operation apparatus for performing an operation by steering an end effector includes a wire which is connected to the end effector to steer the end effector, and a tension compensator which is connected with the wire, wherein in an operating state, the tension compensator changes a shape or position in response to tension of the wire to keep the wire tight, and when the wire is pulled to steer the end effector, the tension compensator is shifted to a lock state in which the shape or position is not changed.
