Engineering:DYNAMIXEL
DYNAMIXEL (DXL) is a line of high performance networked actuators for robots developed by South Korea n manufacturer ROBOTIS.[1] ROBOTIS is also the developer and manufacturer for TurtleBot3, OLLO, Bioloid and DARwIn-OP. DXL is being used by numerous companies, universities, and hobbyist due to its versatile expansion capability, powerful feedback functions, position, speed, internal temperature, input voltage, etc... and its simply daisy-chain topology for simplified wiring connections. The RoboPlus software is available free to the public for use with the DXLs, and can be found on the ROBOTIS Download Page [2]
DXL can be used for multi-joint robot systems such as robotic arms, robotic hand, bi-pedal robot,[3] hexapod robot, snake robot,[4] scorpions, pan tilts, kinematic art,[5] animatronics and automation, etc...
- The Bioloid which was made around the AX-12A has been used by the US Navy for their Mechanical engineering courses[6] and the US Air Force as well.
- The DARwIn-OP was made around the MX-28 and is supported by $1.2 million NSF grant [7][8] and has been distributed to over 14 institutions already.[7][8]
Drivers for the DXL has been released by ROS.[9]

DYNAMIXEL Pro Plus series is an upgraded version of its predecessor in hardware and software wise. Pro Plus provides several operating modes along with highly precise control based on maximum 1 million resolution encoder. The hardware changes also increased its efficiency such as power consumption and temperature control. Oil / dust seal is applied at the output shaft(Horn) for more reliable operation on various environments.
