The SmartServo is a compact, all-in-one device combining a microcontroller, servo motor, and versatile I/O — giving anyone with access to assistive inputs, like a light-touch button, the power of high-torque rotation. Small enough to embed in limitless inventions. Powerful enough to change how someone moves through their day.
Assistive technology is too often expensive, hard to customize, and out of reach. STEM education too often lacks real-world purpose. The SmartServo Project tackles both at once.
Whether you're adapting a game for a child with limited mobility or designing an automated feeder for service animals, the project empowers you to turn compassionate ideas into working solutions.
