Hi,  
Our laboratory have just purchased an UR3e with OnRobot Eyes. We want to implement a automatic collaboration scenario with other robots running ROS 2. We have success in installing ROS 2 to control the UR3e; however, we have don’t find a way to get information from the OnRobot Eyes and OnRobot Gripper 2FG7 or send commands to them. Both connect to an [OnRobot Eye Box](https://www.wmh-trans.co.uk/Products/ONROBOT_EYES_SPARES/ONR-106032). We found the [OnRobot Compute Box](https://onrobot.com/sites/default/files/documents/onrobot-compute-box-description_e10_en.pdf) is another type of box that provide a control interface.

So my questions are:  
1- Does the OnRobot Eye Box has the same control interface with the OnRobot Compute Box ?  
2- Do you have any solution so that we can also use ROS 2 with OnRobot devices ?

Please share some experiences to us. Thank you in advance.

Here is the link about the controller interface API of OnRobot Compute Box [https://onrobot.com/sites/default/files/documents/onrobot-compute-box-description\_e10\_en.pdf](https://onrobot.com/sites/default/files/documents/onrobot-compute-box-description_e10_en.pdf)
