Hi ROS community,

I’ve been working on a ROS 2 driver for the AR4 robot arm and I’m glad to announce it’s mostly feature complete and ready to use! It uses ros2_control for robot control, and comes with MoveIt 2 and Rviz2 integrations.

For those of you who don’t know, AR4 is a low-cost robot arm that has a max payload of 1.9kg and 63cm reach, which makes it great for light-duty practical tasks.

I eagerly await your feedback and suggestions as I continue to refine and improve this driver.
