ros2_RobotiqGripper Repository

This ROS 2 package provides a convenient interface for controlling the Robotiq Gripper when connected to a Universal Robots (UR) robot arm. The driver utilizes the UR Robot’s TCP-IP socket connectivity to establish communication with the gripper.

Features

  • ROS 2 Service Interface: The driver encapsulates the gripper’s open and close commands into ROS 2 services, allowing users to easily request gripper actions from within their ROS 2 environment. Additionally, information about the gripper’s opening ratio is provided after each execution, enhancing control and monitoring capabilities.

  • Tested Compatibility: The driver has been extensively tested with the Robotiq HandE gripper, ensuring reliable operation in real-world scenarios. Future plans include expanding support to encompass a broader range of Robotiq grippers, enhancing versatility and compatibility across different robotic applications.

VIDEO: Pick and Place Task - UR3 Robot w/ Robotiq HandE Parallel Gripper

Video Demonstration coming soon.


INSTALLATION

The RobotiqGripper ROS 2 Package has been developed, executed and tested in a Ubuntu 22.04 machine with ROS 2 Humble. It can be easily downloaded and installed by executing the following commands:

```sh cd ~/dev_ws/src git clone https://github.com/IFRA-Cranfield/ros2_RobotiqGripper.git cd ~/dev_ws colcon build

The IFRA (Intelligent Flexible Robotics and Assembly) Group is part of the Centre for Robotics and Assembly at Cranfield University.

IFRA Group pushes technical boundaries. At IFRA we provide high tech automation & assembly solutions, and we support smart manufacturing with Smart Industry technologies and solutions. Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) are a clear example. They can improve overall operations and throughput quality by adapting to real-time changes and situations, supporting and pushing the transition towards flexible, intelligent and responsive automation, which we continuously seek and support.

The IFRA Group undertakes innovative research to design, create and improve Intelligent, Responsive and Flexible automation & assembly solutions, and this series of GitHub repositories provide background information and resources of how these developments are supported.

ros2_RobotiqGripper Repository

This ROS 2 package provides a convenient interface for controlling the Robotiq Gripper when connected to a Universal Robots (UR) robot arm. The driver utilizes the UR Robot’s TCP-IP socket connectivity to establish communication with the gripper.

Features

  • ROS 2 Service Interface: The driver encapsulates the gripper’s open and close commands into ROS 2 services, allowing users to easily request gripper actions from within their ROS 2 environment. Additionally, information about the gripper’s opening ratio is provided after each execution, enhancing control and monitoring capabilities.

  • Tested Compatibility: The driver has been extensively tested with the Robotiq HandE gripper, ensuring reliable operation in real-world scenarios. Future plans include expanding support to encompass a broader range of Robotiq grippers, enhancing versatility and compatibility across different robotic applications.

Video Demonstration coming soon.


INSTALLATION

The RobotiqGripper ROS 2 Package has been developed, executed and tested in a Ubuntu 22.04 machine with ROS 2 Humble. It can be easily downloaded and installed by executing the following commands:

```sh cd ~/dev_ws/src git clone https://github.com/IFRA-Cranfield/ros2_RobotiqGripper.git cd ~/dev_ws colcon build
