How to attach a sphere to end-effector

Post by CroCr »

The end-effector of Kuka should be attached to a sphere so that I can interact with the environment. When I attach it to gripper or last joint via force sensor, the gripper falls. See this picture,

how can I do so? I'm using Kuka youBot model without modifications. A sphere's mass should be very small so that it doesn't affect the robot's dynamics.

Hello,

not sure exactly about the purpose of that sphere. On which object are you trying to attach that sphere?
There shouldn't be a problem, e.g. attach the sphere to /Rectangle7/Rectangle2 (or also directly to /rectangle7 if you are running CoppeliaSim V4.6 rev8 or later)

Cheers
