Release 2.1.0 of KINOVA ROS KORTEX repository in sync with KINOVA Gen3 lite initial release v2.1.1

This release 2.1.0 of the ROS KORTEX packages adds compatibility for the initial release of a new 6DOF Kortex arm, the Gen3 lite.

Important note to update an existing ROS Kortex workspace

For the workspace to build properly, after this update because of the change to auto-generated files, you will have to run those commands and then clean and rebuild the package:

rm -rf kortex_api/include kortex_api/lib

Note for Gen3 users

This release does not add features or examples for the Gen3. It only adds compatibility for 6DOF arms. The ROS Kortex 2.1.0 package is backward compatible with the 2.0.X firmware packages for Gen3.

What's new

• Added support for the Gen3 lite in the kortex_driver, kortex_control, kortex_gazebo and kortex_description packages.
• Added MoveIt support for the Gen3 lite.
• Updated the kortex_examples to work for Gen3 lite.
• Updated the auto-generated documentation for the API to match with the 2.1.0 API.
