TellDarwin is a command interpreter for DARwIn-OP Robot running Linux (designed and tested on Ubuntu 9.10). It was written by Michael Krzyzaniak at the University of Georgia, Ideas for Creative Exploration (ICE). It allows users to send simple, intuitive requests like 

start walking 
set eye color 0.5 0.2 1 
get accelerometer
start camera
set head position 30 degrees 

to the robot wirelessly from a remote computer, and have it respond as expected. The software is intended to receive requests from Max/MSP (a graphical programming language for OSX or Windows that is popular in the humanities), but also has options that allow users to send requests from the command-line locally using the robot's stdin, or remotely with netcat (nc, available for any OS) or other software that can send simple ASCII messages over TCP. These options allow users to easily write scripts that control the robot.
