Abstract

This paper proposes a novel method to efficiently develop GUI based control software for a legged mobile robot. Although GUI is convenient it is a very burden to both a computer and its developer. In case of the mobile robot, these problems are more serious. The proposed method solves these problems by separating GUI from control software. An implementation based upon the proposed method demonstrates its effectiveness.
