Overview

This stack can be used to control Robotiq 2-Finger Adaptive Robot Grippers, 3-Finger Adaptive Robot Gripper and Force Torque Sensor. Only grippers configured with the Modbus TCP or Modbus RTU protocol can be controlled using the stack. Robotiq Wrist Camera is currently not supported.

Installation

The Robotiq package is only available from source. It can be cloned using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/ros-industrial/robotiq.git

Once cloned, checkout the branch for your specific ROS version (e.g. kinetic-devel) The robotiq package has the following library dependencies:

Modbus TCP:
```
rosdep install robotiq_modbus_tcp
```

Note that Robotiq devices that use the USB serial port will appear as /dev/ttyUSBn devices in your system (where "n" is a number that depends on the number of USB devices that are plugged in the computer) and require read and write permissions to work properly. One way to permanently ensure you have such permissions is simply to add your user to the dialout group once:

sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
