Summary:This disclosure relates to a manipulating apparatus including a finger assembly with a rigid body having an aperture and an inflatable element received within the rigid body. When the inflatable element is inflated, a region of the inflatable element forms a protrusion through the aperture. A controller is configured to output an inflation control signal for pressurising the inflatable element according a target pressure, the target pressure being dependent on a characteristic of an object being manipulated.
