Hi,

Well, I'd like to inform you all, that I have used rtems to control a 
Six Legged Walking robot which is being built in our lab.

Each leg has 3 dof. 
The robot stands 6 feet tall, and weighs about 300Kg.
12 out of 18 motors are 1 hp motors..

rtems resides in a 486 industrial motherboard, which remote-boots, and
allows high level commands to flow in from the network
(the code is based on netdemo)

Just finished the first basic code which runs all 18 axis simultaneously.

Regards,
Vivek
