Changing Kuka's Gripper's Size

Post by wipman »

Hello,

I am adapting a Kuka Youbot robot available in v-rep to my simulation constraints, and thus trying to scale its gripper to a larger size. But operating on the 'Rectangle7' Object Common Scaling Property in the scene hierarchy, the robot does not behave as expected while running the simulation.

My goal is to twice the size of the gripper to allow it to grip bigger shapes. How can I do that while keeping the original robot gripping properties and behavior?

Thank you.

Hello,

I suspect that you didn't scale all objects that are part of the gripper. Make sure to select all objects part of the gripper, then scale them at once through that dialog.
Or you can also use the isometric scaling model located in Models/tools/isometric scaling tool.ttm.

Cheers
