Hi everyone,

it is my pleasure to announce the schunk_svh_driver[1] package that you 
can use to control the Servo-electric 5-Finger Gripping Hand SVH [2] 
produced by Schunk.

The SVH is the first 5 finger hand which is produced in series and 
enables a wide range of complex motions due to its 1:1 scale and 
anthropo­morphic design. It provides an easy interface for standalone 
usage as well as integration into your project, comes with a detailed 
3D-Model based on the orginal CAD Data and was tested extensively during 
several public demonstrations like the Automatica. A comprehensive 
documentation is already provided on the wiki and should allow you to 
easily use the package in your projects. At [3] you can see a Youtube 
video of the hand in combination with the LWA4P for which an early 
version of this package was used.

The package is currently available via git [4] and will soon be 
available via package manager. It was tested with hydro and indigo but 
should work under most circumstances.

Please let me know if you have any feedback, suggestions or any trouble 
using the package.


Best Regards
Georg Heppner
