Overview

This package contains a simplified robot description (MJCF) of the Robotiq 85mm 2-Finger Adaptive Gripper developed by Robotiq. It is derived from the publicly available URDF description.

URDF → MJCF derivation steps

  1. Downloaded gripper step file containing CAD information: https://blog.robotiq.com/hubfs/support-files/2F85_Opened_20190924-Sep-06-2024-02-25-46-4707-PM.step
  2. Downloaded fingertips step file: https://blog.robotiq.com/hubfs/support-files/C-083-PAD_SURMOULE_85_defeature_20191025-Sep-06-2024-02-26-08-4297-PM.step
  3. Created assembly file using onshape and joint limits from robotiq_2f85 XML model.
  4. Used onshape-to-robot to export assembly file to URDF : https://github.com/Rhoban/onshape-to-robot
  5. Converted URDF to MJCF by loading the model in simulate and saved the XML.
  6. Used robotiq_2f85 XML as inspiration. Kept new XML very similar to the robotiq_2f85.
  7. Changed value of tendon coef from 0.5 to 0.485 to make sure that fingertips touch.
  8. Used inertia and mass from robotiq_2f85 model.
  9. Added scene.xml which includes the robot, with a textured groundplane, skybox, and haze.
  10. Added hanging box to scene.xml.
