Robotiq's Adaptive Robot Gripper Now on ROS-Industrial

A few months ago, I wrote a blog post on ROS-Industrial, an open-source software in industrial robotics. From my experience in research, I have learned that collaboration between academics and industry is one of the best ways to leverage good ideas into innovative (and potentially game changing) technologies. In the context of robotics, ROS (Robot Operating System) is a good example of a broad collaboration between researchers, manufacturers and end-users. For this reason, I am pleased to announce that Robotiq recently released a ROS stack for controlling its Adaptive Robot Grippers.
