Grippers are controlled by writing their registers using the Modbus RTU protocol. You will find detailed information in the gripper manual available on the Robotiq support page: https://robotiq.com/support

Robotiq is currently working to provide an officially supported ROS 2 driver for the 2F-85, 2F-140, and Hand-E grippers. Each distribution below links to its own page, with a reference to the driver project that targets it.
