My preference is any of the SMC pneumatic family grippers. I like the low profile MHF series but you can certainly use any gripper that you can create an adapter to mount to the robot. Some people prefer electric servo grippers but I just find they do not have the performance or force that a pneumatic gripper has.

I bought a pneumatic gripper from aliexpress. I bought the 16D and made a small mounting plate for it, but would probably recommend using a small one.

Not bad for $45. Chris also recommends one in his build that has a smaller profile but is more expensive (a similar model is also available on aliexpress)
