Questions about LIFT 2
Can I fix the lift height while recording?
Yes. ARX documents how to fix the height during collection and during inference in the LIFT controller.
How do I drive the base from my own code?
Publish to the ROS 2 topic /body_control and read feedback from /body_information.
Does LIFT 2 work with the same pipeline as AC one?
Yes. ARX's ROS 2 collect–train–deploy pipeline supports AC one, X7s and LIFT2s, each with its own control and imitation-learning packages.
