1.2. Robotiq Finishing Copilot software on e-Series robots
The Robotiq Finishing Copilot is a software package designed for using the force and torque values read by a force torque sensor
embedded in the e-Series robot wrist. The software interface provides force and torque feedback that can be used for robotic
applications suh as hand guiding, force control processes, assembly tasks, product testing, and much more on e-Series robot. The
hardware counterpart of Finishing Copilot is the license dongle, a USB storage device hosting the product license. The Finishing
Copilot software is used for the implementation of a force torque sensor's operational commands in a user interface and that unlocks
force control features and functionalities.
