Gripper Action Controller

Controllers for executing a gripper command action for simple single-dof grippers:

  • position_controllers/GripperActionController

  • effort_controllers/GripperActionController

Parameters

These controllers use the generate_parameter_library to handle its parameters. The parameter definition file located in the src folder contains descriptions for all the parameters used by the controller.

List of parameters

Default: 20.0

Constraints:

  • greater than or equal to 0.1

joint (string)

Default: “”

goal_tolerance (double)

Default: 0.01

Constraints:

  • greater than or equal to 0.0

max_effort (double)

Max allowable effort

Default: 0.0

Constraints:

  • greater than or equal to 0.0
