Question on force control for CRX robots #348

Closed garyraise closed 1 year ago

garyraise commented 1 year ago

Hi all, we're developing a robotics solution for assembly tasks. We currently using UR arms, but we're looking for cobots with longer reach and higher payload, which is why we're considering using the CRX-25. From reading through the documentation of this driver as well as the experimental packages, I don't believe there is any existing support for specifying force commands to the FANUC controller. Would anyone have any ideas on how challenging this would be to implement, and whether we could actually use an external computer to control FANUC arms to perform peg-in-hole search algorithms?
