Adding end-effector to ur5 robot

1

Hello,

I want to attach a end-effector tool to the UR5 robot from the universal robots package, and was wondering if anyone knows how I should go about solving such a task?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am fairly new to both ROS and Gazebo :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Hi,

In some courses we use the ShadowHand, and its basicallly UR5 with a griper attached. You could have a look at it and see how its done.

I leave you here the course where its used and the git:
COURSE_UNIT0

git clone --depth 1 -b noetic https://bitbucket.org/theconstructcore/shadow_tc.git
git clone --depth 1 -b noetic https://bitbucket.org/theconstructcore/shadow_robot_smart_grasping_sandbox.git

Hope it helps :wink:
