    摘要: A gripper for gripping a target has a first support section, a second support section spaced apart from the first support section in a direction of a rotation center axis, and a plurality of elastic wires supported across the first support section and the second support section. A first grip area surrounded by the plurality of elastic wires is formed between the first support section and the second support section upon a relative rotation of the first support section and the second support section around the rotation center axis, and the first grip area becomes narrower until all the plurality of elastic wires come into contact with the target by the relative rotation of the first support section and the second support section, and the plurality of elastic wires is tightened to grip the target entering the first grip area.
