1. A robotic method for gripping, elevating, and displacing an object comprising:
securing a sticker element to a gripper finger;
maneuvering said gripper finger such that said sticker element engages the object to be displaced thereby adhering said sticker element to said object;
maneuvering said sticker element and thereby said object to a required location; and
releasing said sticker element and thereby said object from said gripper finger,
wherein said engagement of the sticker element to the object is performed utilizing a constantly sticky surface at the sticker element, where the stickiness of the sticker's surface is independent of any force applied to it.
