What it does

  • Provides URDF models of the Ewellix TLT lifts, selectable by a lift parameters configuration file, with the tlt_x25 model as the default.
  • Visualizes a chosen lift model in RViz through the ewellix_viz package launch file.
  • Can show or hide the base plate and the mounting plate of the model via launch arguments.
  • Simulates a lift in Gazebo through the ewellix_sim package, with a joint position controller for direct height commands.
  • Offers a MoveIt-compatible joint trajectory controller mode to plan and execute lift motions in simulation.
  • Pairs with a separate driver repository for commanding a real lift through ROS.
