Real Operating Systems for Real-time Motion Control
Motion-control systems have traditionally used microcontrollers and minimal operating systems, but it is now practical to run real-time control systems on UNIX, write them in high-level languages such as Python, and use convenient UI environments such as Gnome. I'll demo some systems I've built, ranging from a self-balancing unicycle to a human-sized walking robot, and talk about how to implement them in ways similar to the e-commerce systems I used to build.
