David Buckley, who is on Quanta committee, has specialised in robotics for years. He has regularly demonstrated a little turtle robot linked to a QL via serial port and controlled by SuperBASIC procedures. You can see his work onhis website at http://davidbuckley.net/DB/Zero2/Zero2.htm - that link takes you to his zero2 page, or more stuff at http://davidbuckley.net/DB/
