Force-Torque Sensor Simulation in Gazebo? #64

Open lcbw opened 2 months ago

lcbw commented 2 months ago

Ubuntu 22.04 | ROS: Humble | Gazebo Fortress | UR10e I'm interested in simulating a UR10e including the EOA F/T sensor for compliance control testing. Does this current package enable such a simulation?

It looks like previous versions of Gazebo could have leveraged something like this in the xacro:

(Found here)

100.0 ft_sensor_topic schunk_wsg50_fixed_base_joint

But I'm having a hard time finding what the ros2 ft_sensor plugins for Fortress named. Any support and advice is appreciated.

This package does not currently provide any simulation for the F/T sensor. I'll label this as an enhancement, as it might make sense to provide this functionality in the future.

We don't have experience adding this simulation to gazebo in ROS 2, if anybody has please leave a comment.
