Abstract: ABSTRACT The present disclosure relates to a multi-gripper apparatus (200) for manipulation of objects (223) is disclosed. The apparatus (200) comprises a support body (202), a plurality of different end-effectors (204, 206, 208) mounted on the support body (202), a primary actuator (108), and a plurality of secondary actuators (210, 211, 217). Each end-effector (204, 206, 208) is configured for manipulating a respective category of object (223), and each secondary actuator (210, 211, 217) is operatively coupled to a corresponding end-effector (204, 206, 208). The primary actuator (108) is configured to selectively rotate the support body (202) to position a selected end-effector at an operative manipulation position. The corresponding secondary actuator is configured to actuate the selected end-effector for manipulating the object (223). The apparatus (200) enables adaptive manipulation of diverse objects through a common modular platform without requiring replacement of end-effectors during operation.
