Hello,

the cob_powercube_chain works with all powercubes controlled by the m5API from Schunk. The chain can be configured to serve for different configurations and multiple DOFs.

On the Care-O-bot the chain is running with the 
7DOF arm http://www.ros.org/wiki/cob_arm,
4DOF torso http://www.ros.org/wiki/cob_torso and 
1DOF tray http://www.ros.org/wiki/cob_tray.

Please feel free to use the driver and subscribe to the care-o-bot Mailing-List on http://www.care-o-bot-research.org/contributing/mailing-lists for further questions.

Regards,
Florian

Betreff: Re: [ros-users] Shunk/Amtec arm ros node

I've used Schunk arms with Openrave+ROS.  There are drivers, as well as
arm models available in the OpenRAVE repository:
http://openrave.programmingvision.com/index.php/Robotics_Manipulation_System

I am in the process of releasing an updated version of the
schunk_powercube_controllers package, which interfaces with OpenRAVE and
ROS. 

Also, I just noticed the cob_powercube_chain
http://www.ros.org/wiki/cob_powercube_chain

Note that the Schunk arms have come with different controllers over time
- The arms I work with use the powercube interface, but they used to use
a different, 'motion' interface, which works with the
schunk_motion_controllers package.

Assuming that this is the arm you are using, I can help you get started.
