Abstract: Apparatus for installing equipment at a remote location includes a gripper that is releasably coupled to a controller. The gripper includes a first grip member and a second grip member. The second grip member is pivotally joined to the first grip member and moveable between an open position and a closed position. The gripper also includes a gripper coupler secured to the first and second grip members and operable to engage a control coupler of the controller to releasably mount the gripper to the controller. The gripper also includes a transmission assembly with a toothed track mounted to the second grip member and a round gear mounted to the first grip member, the round gear meshed with the toothed track and the transmission assembly positioned to be mechanically engaged by the control coupler whereby the control coupler is operable to mechanically drive the round gear to move the second grip member between the open and closed positions.
