How to Control the 2-Finger Adaptive Robot Gripper?

As explained in a previous article, the 2-Finger Adaptive Robot Gripper is able to achieve both pinching and encompassing grips by automatically conforming to the shape of the object. The Gripper is therefore simply programmed using straightforward open/close commands (everything else is taken care by the Gripper controller and the patent pending finger mechanism). In today's article, we'll take a look at how the Gripper can be controlled: how to communicate with it, how to perform simple actions, how to adapt its behavior and how to test the different commands.
