It provides low-level and high-level APIs to control robot motion, read sensor data, and implement custom automation workflows. The package is built as compiled wheels for multiple platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows) and Python versions (3.10, 3.12, 3.14), with numpy as its sole runtime dependency for numerical operations.\n\nDevelopers use this package to write robot control applications in Python without needing to work directly with lower-level C++ interfaces. It abstracts the communication protocol between the host machine and the Flexiv robot, allowing tasks like trajectory planning, force control, and gripper operation to be scripted in Python. The package is actively maintained and positioned for current Python versions.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you own or have access to Flexiv robot hardware and need a Python interface for control and automation. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive license, and supports current Python versions. Install friction is moderate due to platform-specific wheels, but that is typical for robotics SDKs. Not suitable if you lack Flexiv hardware or need to target Python versions below 3.10."},"id":"flexivrdk","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flexivrdk","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flexivrdk.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flexivrdk/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-19","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"flexivrdk","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Flexiv Robotic Development Kit (RDK)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":105495,"position":12695,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.0"}
