Abstract
The objective of this work was the development of a replacement control system for a SCARA robot. The key features explored were derived from the scalable distributed architecture in which each joint was served by its own dedicated microcontroller. The software system exploited this with a novel resident kernel enabling dynamic reconfiguration through run time changes to executable code
