The present disclosure generally refers to a vacuum gripper for gripping an object surface, the vacuum gripper comprises a rigid base element and a loop-shaped vacuum seal element. The rigid base element has a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, the second side having a central area and a periphery surrounding the central area. The loop-shaped vacuum seal element is attached at least indirectly to the second side of the base element and protruding therefrom in a direction away from the first side of the base element. The vacuum seal element comprises a contact surface configured to be brought into at least a partial contact with the object surface and an encircling surface oriented transversely to the contact surface so as to define therewith a chamber adjacent the second side of the base element. The vacuum seal element is elastically deformable at least at its contact surface to enable the contact surface to conform to the object surface when pressed thereagainst. The vacuum gripper further comprises an air extraction means mounted to the first side of the base element so as to be in fluid communication with the chamber through the base element, and configured to continuously extract air from the chamber to cause the contact surface to be urged towards and thereby grip the object surface when pressed thereagainst.
