So far I only found a vague reference to some "Trilobite control system" but no details.
In the conclusion of this 2003 Master's thesis it says:
Would love to get it hooked up!The interface has been built using applets, which are connected
to the “Trilobite” control system via a TCP socket connection.
Someone else has written the Trilobite’s control system earlier. The
interface has four different programs to choose from. Only two of them
are working so far because of a limited number of commands on the
already written Robot’s server.
