The present disclosure relates to servo control technology, which provides a method, device, and terminal device for servo movement smoothing. The method includes: obtaining a starting position and a control command for a rotation of an output shaft the servo; determining an ending position and a rotation time for the rotation of the output shaft in accordance with the control command; constructing a movement curve of the output shaft based on the starting position, the ending position, and the rotation time; and controlling the output shaft to rotate from the starting position to the ending position in accordance with the movement curve.

When the second motion instruction is received, the servo is controlled to rotate from the ideal position to the second ideal end position according to the second motion instruction, so that the servo is switched from the first motion instruction to the second motion instruction smoothly.
