If you’re developing a Python application to control a UR robot equipped with a Robotiq gripper, you may want to try the **pyrobotiqgripper** package.

It can be installed easily with a simple `pip` command and supports two connection methods:

- Direct connection to your PC

- Via the UR RS485 URCap ([https://github.com/UniversalRobots/Universal\_Robots\_ToolComm\_Forwarder\_URCap](https://github.com/UniversalRobots/Universal_Robots_ToolComm_Forwarder_URCap))

The package also includes a dedicated function for continuous control of the gripper:  
`realTimeMove(<position>)`

Comprehensive documentation is available, and the project is fully open source.
