A bistable gripper for an aerial vehicle may include a base, a first finger, a second finger, a switching pad, a first elastic connector, and a second elastic connector. The base may include a first beam and a second beam. The first finger may be pivotably attached to the first beam at a first joint, and the second finger may be pivotably attached to the second beam at a second joint. The switching pad may be configured for moving relative to the base. The first elastic connector may be attached to the switching pad and the first finger, and the second elastic connector may be attached to the switching pad and the second finger. The bistable gripper may be configured for switching between a closed stable state and an open stable state.
