Hi to all,

I am new to ROS and I am working on schunk_lwa4p arm and pg70 gripper attached at the end of it. I want to create moveit package and give movement to arm. And I have found the urdf file for this arm here as robot.urdf.xacro and I have converted this file to robot.urdf using rosrun xacro xacro --inorder -o robot.urdf robot.urdf.xacro ,

And I have found the urdf file for this gripper as pg70.urdf.xacro.

My question is how can I edit these two files and create the arm including the gripper at the end ?

This is typically done with another xacro file. So you write one xacro file that includes the xacro file for the arm and the gripper, and then connects them with a join of some kind (probably a fixed joint). Here's an example for the Sawyer robot: https://github.com/RethinkRobotics/sa...

Note that this xacro file includes xacro files for the robot, the Gazebo parameters, and the grippers.
