The at least one gripping jaw includes a base, a gripping portion configured to contact an object, a flexible member connecting the base and the gripping portion, and a sensor assembly located between the base and the gripping portion. The flexible member is configured to enable the gripping portion to deflect with respect to the base when the gripping portion is subjected to a force in a first direction from the object. The sensor assembly is configured to generate a signal in response to the deflection of the gripping portion.
