UMI-Gripper Description (MJCF)
Requires MuJoCo 2.2.2 or later.
Overview
This package contains a simplified robot description (MJCF) of the Universal Manipulation Interface (UMI) Gripper. It is derived from the publicly available gripper model.

SOLIDWORKS -> URDF -> MJCF derivation step
- Converted the the CAD model provided (here) to the URDF format using this SolidWorks add-in.
- Added
<mujoco> <compiler balanceinertia="true" discardvisual="false"/> </mujoco>
to the URDF's<robot>
clause in order to preserve visual geometries. - Loaded the URDF into MuJoCo and saved a corresponding MJCF.
- Added materials and textures for the mirrors and ArUco markers (
right_aruco_sticker.png
,left_aruco_sticker.png
). - Created a
<default>
section to define common properties for joints, actuators, and geoms. - Added two mirror geoms (
left_mirror
,right_mirror
) with reflective materials for enhanced visual effects. - Added a
<tendon>
section with a fixed tendon named split to synchronize the movement of both fingers. - Added position-controlled actuators for the fingers joints (tuned
impratio="10"
for better non-slip interaction). - Added slide joints for controlling the gripper's movement along the X, Y, and Z axes.
- Added hinge joints for controlling the rotation around the X, Y, and Z axes.
- Added
scene.xml
which includes the robot, with a textured groundplane, skybox, and haze.
