Robotiq Releases New 2F-85 Isaac Sim Asset on Newton

If you have put a Robotiq 2F-85 into an NVIDIA Isaac Sim scene and closed it on an object, you have probably seen the fingers do something the real gripper never does: bend backwards, pivot outward at the tip, or snap out of alignment mid-grasp. It is the most reported problem with our grippers in simulation, it shows up on the NVIDIA developer forums for the 2F-85 and feedback from the community. It is what happens when a mechanism built around a closed kinematic loop meets a solver that only handles trees.
