Spot C++ SDK (BETA)

Develop applications and payloads for Spot using the Boston Dynamics Spot C++ SDK. The Spot C++ SDK is a beta release.

The C++ SDK consists of:

• C++ client library. Applications using the C++ library can control Spot and read sensor and health information from Spot. A variety of example programs and a QuickStart guide are also included.
• Spot C++ SDK Repository. The GitHub repo where all of the Spot C++ SDK code is hosted.

The official Spot SDK documentation also contains information relevant to the C++ SDK:

• Conceptual documentation. These documents explain the key abstractions used by the Spot API.
• Payload developer documentation. Payloads add additional sensing, communication, and control capabilities beyond what the base platform provides. The Payload ICD covers the mechanical, electrical, and software interfaces that Spot supports.
• Spot API protocol definition. This reference guide covers the details of the protocol applications used to communicate to Spot. Application developers who wish to use a language other than Python can implement clients that speak the protocol.

This is version 5.1.1 of the C++ SDK. Please review the Release Notes to see what has changed.
