It works best on problems which are strongly Cartesian. The chopsticks demo shows the limitations of this. The gripper can pick up two chopsticks, but it can't do much with them, because it can't rotate them to bring them together at the points. But it seems to be good for lab equipment with simple geometry.

Also, where are the motors? Inside the gripper, or at the other end of cables?
