Parameter List

There are 3 parameters.

ParameterDescription
cart_gripper_distanceDetectable distance of the Gripper Inductive Sensor. GGG
center_forceThe force (in Newton) applied to the gripper joint to make it move. This force should be more than the attrition defined in the model of the gripper, or else the gripper won't move.

Always pay attention to some parameters in your model, such as the max velocity for the joint, as well as the accumulated effort.
center_pos_toleranceTolerance for the angular position (in radians) of the gripper to be considered centered.
Centered = 0.0 +/- tolerance
