When the inflatable element is inflated, a region of the inflatable element forms a protrusion through the aperture. The manipulating apparatus further comprises a controller configured to output an inflation control signal for pressurising the inflatable element according a target pressure, wherein the target pressure being dependent on a characteristic of the object being manipulated. La présente divulgation concerne un appareil de manipulation comprenant un ensemble doigt comprenant un corps rigide ayant une ouverture et un élément gonflable reçu à l'intérieur du corps rigide. Lorsque l'élément gonflable est gonflé, une région de l'élément gonflable forme une saillie à travers l'ouverture. L'appareil de manipulation comprend en outre un dispositif de commande configuré pour délivrer un signal de commande de gonflage pour mettre sous pression l'élément gonflable en fonction d'une pression cible, la pression cible dépendant d'une caractéristique de l'objet manipulé.
