[JVRC1] Widen the width of the grippers #22

Closed mmurooka closed 1 year ago

mmurooka commented 1 year ago

This PR changes the joint positions of the JVRC1 gripper to be suitable for manipulation. In particular, it is required for CI testing of isri-aist/LocomanipController. As you can see from the following videos, the original JVRC1 gripper is too narrow to realize most grasping tasks.
