Fix for the broken mimic joint where only 1 of the 2 gripper finger would move.
The support for mimic has been fixed for some time with this PR ros-controls/gazebo_ros2_control#107 and it show that the mimic joint specification was missing from the ros2_control specification.
This is the first commit
However, while the gripper works with moveit2 after this first commit, a bunch of error messages are generated at runtime:
[move_group-3] [ERROR] [1692102600.709104192] [moveit_robot_model.robot_model]: Joint 'crane_x7_gripper_finger_b_joint_mimic' not found in model 'crane_x7'
The second commit adds a dummy joint to prevent this, but this is only a workaround (suggested here: ).
There might be some more elegant solution and possible resolution is still discussed
