I'm currently trying to implement a force_torque sensor to the end-effector of a UR5. I've found examples of F/T plugins being used but i cant seem to implement them properly. I would try to check if my plugins are valid using rostopic list but the plugin i'm working on doesnt show.

I've looked at these two examples of using F/T plugins, but i'm not sure if i'm using them correctly. https://github.com/CentroEPiaggio/force-torque-sensor/blob/master/model/ft_sensor.gazebo.xacro http://docs.ros.org/jade/api/gazebo_plugins/html/group__GazeboRosFTSensor.html

I can't seem to find a tutorial for an F/T plugin specifically, nor can i find a tutorial to implement the F/T to a robot end-effector.

If someone can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently modifying the ur5.urdf.xacro and ur.gazebo.xacro files since i'm still learning. later on i'd like to write a separate xacro file that contains the sensors and the plugins.

I'm using the UR5 model found in the ros-kinetic-universal-robot package, I'm currently modifying the ur5.urdf.xacro and ur.gazebo.xacro files since i'm still learning. later on i'd like to write a separate xacro file that contains the sensors and the plugins.
