The present invention relates to an apparatus for transferring a glove () from a conveyor () characterised by: a camera (); a pick-up assembly () comprising a pair of inner grippers () and two pairs of outer grippers (); a pair of sensors (); a robotic arm () mounted with the pick-up assembly (); a processor. The present invention also relates to a method for transferring a glove () from a conveyor (), characterised by the steps of: locating a cuff () of the glove () on the conveyor () by capturing an image on the conveyor with a camera () and analyzing the image with a processor; using a robotic arm () to move a pick-up assembly () to the located cuff (); gripping the cuff () with a pair of inner grippers () of the pick-up assembly () and lifting the glove () by retracting the pair of inner grippers (); detecting the glove () position by using a pair of sensors (); opening the glove () by grabbing and sliding apart the two pairs of outer grippers (); shifting the glove () towards a workstation () by using the robotic arm (); transferring the glove () to the workstation () by engaging the glove () to the workstation (). 1100200.
