Abstract:
An apparatus includes a manipulator, a pneumatic actuator and a robot control. The pneumatic actuator is coupled to the manipulator such that the pneumatic actuator is arranged between the manipulator and an object to be positioned. The robot control is configured: to control the pneumatic actuator such that an actuator force of the pneumatic actuator approximately compensates a weight force of the object; and to monitor the actuator position of the pneumatic actuator and initiate safety measures when the actuator position exceeds a predefined value. Methods of operating the manipulator and the pneumatic actuator are also described.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 11 , wherein a resilience or stiffness of the object or of the placement surface is determined from the actuator position and the actuator force on contact.
