A self-sealing suction device system is provided. The system comprises a suction device, a pressure sensor in communication with the suction device, a vacuum supply in communication with the suction device, and a solenoid valve in communication with the suction device and the vacuum supply. A controller is programmed to turn on the vacuum supply responsive to the pressure sensor detecting air pressure within the suction device above a specified threshold. The controller turns off the vacuum supply responsive to the pressure sensor detecting a specified level of negative pressure within the suction device, wherein the solenoid valve maintains the negative pressure within the suction device. The controller maneuvers the solenoid valve to equilibrate the suction device with atmospheric pressure to release the object upon completion of a task.
