The gripper_action_controller
supports single-actuator position- or effort-controlled grippers. What you need to do to use this controller is to expose the actuated joint of your gripper to your robot hardware abstraction (hardware_interface::RobotHW
). The joint should be registered to the hardware_interface::PositionJointInterface
if it's position-controlled, or to the hardware_interface::EffortJointInterface
if it's effort-controlled.
A high-level overview of the ros_control
concepts, including how to expose joint resources to a RobotHW
instance can be found in the ROSCON 2014 talk (slides, video).
