Hi everyone,

currently, we try to use a Robotiq force-torque sensor mounted on a UR5. We use the [ur\_rtde](https://gitlab.com/sdurobotics/ur_rtde) library to control the arm and a gripper remotely. Using the getRawWrench() function, we tried to get the current force-torque measurements from the sensor but we only received a zero vector. The ur\_rtde team told us that the RTDE interface does not provide force-torque data for the CB3 series. Is that correct? If yes, then how could we receive force-torque data remotely with this setup? Or would it be possible to add this feature to also support the CB3 series?

Suggestions are highly appreciated.

Best regards,  
Antonia

hello,did you get the answer? I have a quesion. I want to get raw force data to compensate and get the zero point.Did you get correct data and why the data is so big?
