About a month or so ago, I saw a show on the Discovery Channel about MIT Insect
Lab.  It showed multi-legged robots which learned how to walk.  The way these
robots were put together was said to use independent processors which were
losely coupled.

Does anyone have any information on what the Insect Lab is doing, and how
they are doing it?

Thanks

Phil Kemp
