# open gripper
rostopic pub /set_gripper_open std_msgs/Bool "data: true" -1

# 1. launch action server
roslaunch robotiq_2f_gripper_action_server robotiq_2f_gripper_action_server robotiq_2f_gripper_as.launch  port:=/dev/ttyUSB0
# 2. use the code in robotiq_2f_gripper_action_server/scripts/robotiq_2f_client_node.py
