Abstract :
We describe the architecture of a system for programming the high degree-of-freedom Platonic Beast legged robot with constraints. This includes software for distributed control of the robot using the least constraint approach, and hardware for supporting this programming model with distributed computing and communication. We have implemented this system, and we describe results to date
