In this ticket, I'd like to clarify and discuss weather integrating the Robotiq grippers in this repository is contemplated by UFACTORY. When it comes to ROS2 and the Robotiq grippers, I can see two scenarios:

  1. The workstation is directly connected to the gripper, in which case the ros2_robotiq_driver repository is used as a driver (see left case on the picture below).
  2. The workstation is connected to a UFACTORY controller. In turn, a Robotiq gripper is attached to the UFACTORY robot . As I understand this, in order to control the gripper directly from the workstation, development is needed for both a) workstation to controller and b) controller to gripper communications (see right case on the picture below).

My assumption is that this development can only be done by the UFACTORY team, since the internal control software is not open source.
