RobotIQ Gripper Force values

 

 

Gripper Status

Closed Gripper

Gripper holding wood-block (pose #1)

Gripper holding wood-block (pose #2)

 

Gripper holding wood-block (pose #3)

Gripper holding tennis ball

 

 

My conclusion: 

•  This 'force' value has nothing to do with the shape, weight and/or pose of the object that it is being hold
•  Furthermore, this 'force' value does not respond to any perturbations during the object holding (I tried it myself)
