Hi everyone,

I am pleased to announce that a ROS stack for the control of our Adaptive Robot Grippers is now available. The stack is released as part of ROS-Industrial, hosted on the SWRI repository.

The Robotiq stack provides drivers for accessing the control variables of our Grippers (TCP/IP protocol only for the moment), allowing ROS users to program high-level commands without having to handle low-level message creations and communication aspects. The objective of the stack is to reduce the integration time and help our research partners build innovative demos (such as this one).

For more information on the Robotiq stack, you can take a look at our blog article announcing the release and our website section presenting the research applications for our Adaptive Grippers. 

Enjoy!
