Abstract: A coaxial gear set comprising: a crankshaft which can be rotated about an axis of rotation and has at least one connecting rod bearing; and multiple, preferably at least three, pistons, each connected to the crankshaft by means of a connecting rod and which each have a toothing with at least one tooth on a first end face facing away from the axis of rotation. The coaxial gear set also comprises: a hollow shaft having internal toothing, wherein the pistons are located inside the hollow shaft when viewed in a plane normal to the axis of rotation; and a guide unit, wherein the pistons are each linearly guided in the guide unit and can be moved back and forth parallel to a radial direction normal to the axis of rotation, as a result of which the toothings of the first end faces of the pistons can be successively brought into meshing engagement with the internal toothing and out of meshing engagement with said internal toothing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for gripping an object by a handling system, including a robot with at least one robot arm, a gripping device which is connected to the robot arm and has a pneumatically operated suction gripper having an elastically deformable contact portion for contact with an outer surface of the object to be gripped, an identifier for identifying the outer surface of the object to be gripped and a controller which interacts with the identifier and is designed to control the robot.

Abstract: The invention relates to a handling device for handling objects, including a base unit which extends overall in an elongate manner along a base axis from a first end to a second end, wherein a flange portion is arranged at the first end for fastening the handling device to a robot arm and wherein a pivot unit having a pivot portion is arranged at the second end, wherein the pivot portion is mounted so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis by a pivot joint, wherein the base unit has a pneumatic cylinder which is designed to pivot the pivot portion about the pivot axis, and including a couplable or coupled, pneumatically operated end effector for gripping an object.
