    Abstract: A gripper assembly for a robotic arm includes a gripper finger having a first end and a second end, a gripper pad pivotably coupled to the gripper finger such that the gripper pad is permitted to rotate about a rotational axis relative to the gripper finger, the gripper pad having a pair of sides with one of the sides forming a gripping surface configured to grip an object, and a proximal side located between the pair of sides, and a gripper pad aligner including a pad alignment element coupled to the gripper pad and a finger alignment element coupled to the gripper finger, wherein the pad alignment element is coupled to the finger alignment element and configured to apply an aligning torque to the gripper pad that, when applied, rotates the gripper pad toward a first angular orientation about the rotational axis between the gripper pad and the gripper finger.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a load support unit for holding and adjusting the orientation of the load. The load support unit includes a lower arm, a upper arm, a mounting swivel, a swivel joint, a knuckle joint and a rotational joint. The mounting swivel allows the load support unit to rotate relative to its surroundings, the swivel joint allows the upper arm to rotate relative to the lower arm, the knuckle joint allows the upper arm to pivot in a rotational direction relative to the lower arm, and the rotational joint allows the load to rotate about the upper arm.
