ROS2 Robotiq EPick Gripper

CI Format Linters

This repository contains the ROS 2 driver, controller, and description packages for working with a Robotiq EPick Gripper.

Hardware Interface

The epick_driver package serves as a ROS 2 Hardware Interface for the Robotiq EPick Gripper, enabling direct interaction with the gripper hardware.

Below is a sample configuration that outlines various parameters for this interface.

The hardware interface exposes a command interface labeled grip_cmd for gripping and releasing operations. Assigning the value of 1.0 to this command interface initiates the gripping action, while a value of 0.0 triggers the release mechanism.

A parallel state interface named grip_cmd reflects the status of the performed command.

The interface also offers an object_detection_status state interface to provide real-time object detection feedback during the grip operation.

ROS2 Robotiq EPick Gripper

CI Format Linters

This repository contains the ROS 2 driver, controller, and description packages for working with a Robotiq EPick Gripper.

Hardware Interface

The epick_driver package serves as a ROS 2 Hardware Interface for the Robotiq EPick Gripper, enabling direct interaction with the gripper hardware.

Below is a sample configuration that outlines various parameters for this interface.
