SolidWorks to MoveIt2 : Build and Control a Robotic Gripper

In this full tutorial, I show how to take a robotic gripper from a SolidWorks CAD design all the way to MoveIt2 for motion planning and control. You’ll learn how to: prepare the gripper model in SolidWorks export and organize the robot description create the URDF/Xacro set up joints and links correctly configure ROS2 and MoveIt2 generate the MoveIt configuration package visualize and test the gripper in RViz plan and execute gripper motion This tutorial is for robotics students, ROS2 beginners, and anyone building a custom robotic gripper for simulation and motion planning.
