1. A system comprising:

  • a robotic gripper having a sensory matrix that includes a plurality of sensors, wherein the robotic gripper is configured to execute, in response to a grasp command signal, a selected one of a plurality of grasp poses with respect to a component; and

    a grasp controller in communication with the robotic gripper that is configured to selectively generate the grasp command signal, including;

    a device operable to generate a jog signal in response to a received input; and

    tangible, non-transitory memory on which is recorded a sensory map in the form of a data table, wherein the sensory map provides calibrated limits for each sensor contained in the sensory matrix for the selected grasp pose;

    wherein the grasp controller transmits the grasp command signal to the robotic gripper in response to receipt of the jog signal from the GUI and receives sensory feedback signals from the sensory matrix, to thereby grasp the component.
