SmartServoFramework is a C++ multiplatform framework used to drive "smart servo" devices such as Dynamixel or HerkuleX actuators. The Framework, developed by members of the PRIMA team runs under Linux (and most Unix systems), Mac OS X and Windows operating systems. SmartServoFramework can run on Raspberry Pi or other similar boards. This framework can be used with any Dynamixel or HerkuleX devices. Dynamixel devices from Robotis and HerkuleX devices from Dongbu Robot are high-performance networked actuators for robots available in wide range of sizes and strengths. They have adjustable torque, speed, angle limits, and provide various feedback like position, load, voltage and temperature.
