Adding Io gripper controller #1439

sachinkum0009 · 2024-12-21T18:17:20Z

This Pull Request introduces the IO Gripper Controller, an implementation for controlling a gripper using IOs. The controller supports functionalities such as open, close, and reconfigure, which can be triggered either through an Action Server or a Service Server. Additionally, the controller publishes the gripper’s state via joint_states and provides dynamic_interfaces to expose all command and state interfaces.

Features

Action and Service Integration: Offers flexible control of gripper operations through action or service calls.
State Publishing: Continuously publishes the gripper's joint states and dynamic interface values for real-time monitoring.

Interfaces

Published Topics

joint_states [sensor_msgs::msg::JointState]:
- Publishes the state of the gripper joint and its configuration joint.
dynamic_interfaces [control_msgs::msg::DynamicInterfaceValues]:
- Publishes all command and state interfaces related to the gripper's IOs and sensors.

This addition enables better modular control of robotic grippers, paving the way for seamless integration in complex robotic systems.

Contributions via pull requests are much appreciated. Before sending us a pull request, please ensure that:

Limited scope. Your PR should do one thing or one set of things. Avoid adding “random fixes” to PRs. Put those on separate PRs.
Give your PR a descriptive title. Add a short summary, if required.
Make sure the pipeline is green.
Don’t be afraid to request reviews from maintainers.
New code = new tests. If you are adding new functionality, always make sure to add some tests exercising the code and serving as live documentation of your original intention.

To send us a pull request, please:

Fork the repository.
Modify the source; please focus on the specific change you are contributing. If you also reformat all the code, it will be hard for us to focus on your change.
Ensure local tests pass. (colcon test and pre-commit run (requires you to install pre-commit by pip3 install pre-commit)
Commit to your fork using clear commit messages.
Send a pull request, answering any default questions in the pull request interface.
Pay attention to any automated CI failures reported in the pull request, and stay involved in the conversation.

+# IO Gripper Controller

+The IO Gripper Controller is provides implementation to control the gripper using IOs. It provides functionalities like open, close and reconfigure which can be used either though action server or service server and also publishes `joint_states` of gripper and also `dynamic_interfaces` for all command and state interfaces.

+## Description of controller's interfaces
+
+- `joint_states` [`sensor_msgs::msg::JointState`]: Publishes the state of gripper joint and configuration joint
+- `dynamic_interfaces` [`control_msgs::msg::DynamicInterfaceValues`]: Publishes all command and state interface of the IOs and sensors of gripper.
+


this should go into the doc folder in the rst format. For an example please check the joint_trajectory_controller.

Please also write docs extensively about the internal state machine and also internal functionalities and external interface. As template, use the docs from another controller and adjust the content.
