Abstract: Disclosed herein is an object manipulator, comprising first and second extendible arms, a support member, and an end effector configured for grasping an object. The end effector comprises first and second end effector counterparts, wherein the first counterpart is disposed on the first arm and the second counterpart is disposed on the second arm. The end effector is displaceable, relative to the support member, via extension and retraction of the extendible arms. While the end effector and the object are in a grasping-effectible relationship, the first and second end effector counterparts are disposed, relative to the object, such that the object is graspable by the end effector. While the end effector and the object are in a grasping-ineffective relationship, the first and second end effector counterparts are displaceable, relative to the object, via the extendible arms, such that the end effector and the object become disposed in the grasping-effective relationship.
