The circuits are designed using Protel, an electronic design software that bring together the traditionally separate disciplines of board design, programmable hardware design and software development. The general purpose controller board which currently has five categories; power, communication, microcontroller, inputs, and outputs, is divided into five different modular boards. The design, development and evaluation of the general purpose controller board is found to be able to meet the requirements of biologically inspired robots. © 2011 IEEE. %Z cited By 0; Conference of 2011 IEEE International Conference on Control System, Computing and Engineering, ICCSCE 2011 ; Conference Date: 25 November 2011 Through 27 November 2011; Conference Code:89794
