Grippers
Grippers are the robot’s hands—they enable Baxter to grasp and release objects. The grippers
attach to the
wrist plate
at the base of the robot’s training cuff. Baxter supports two standard
Rethink Robotics grippers: electric parallel and vacuum cup, and can support some custom
grippers. Please contact Rethink Support with questions about other types of grippers.
After installing or altering a gripper, see “Appendix A: Configuring Grippers” on page 143 to
configure it. (Note that installation and alteration instructions ship with the gripper kit.)
Note:
Custom finger lengths are supported and can be entered into the software, but
custom widths are not currently supported by the software.
