There are sites detailing assembly of their kits and some will have software to suit their kits and controllers.

I'm looking to make a large hexapod that can handle a load of 50lbs. This is mostly for carrying loads on the beach/woods and drive around maker Tue, 17 Jan 2012 04:43:01 GMT KM6VV http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HexapodRobotIK/message/164 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HexapodRobotIK/message/164 Hi David, Now that I think about it, there were paper(s) on a neural net and learning leg movements, but I probably couldn't find my copy now.

Sounds like that would be a few levels up from getting the IK running.
