I don't known how we could do that. My robots are basically stick 
figures with around 20 joints not counting the hands and face. When I 
first started play with them I tried to be very flexible by letting the 
length of the bones be set for each character. I can still do it. But 
the poses in keyframe work had to be different for each character. I 
haven't use splines for robots because with I'd need 20 splines to 
control them. That's a lot to do by hand, maybe some software could do it.
   There are more complicated skeletal structures than my robots. Before 
we talk about poses there must be a systematic way of organizing the 
structures of different bone counts and bone lengths. If we had that 
then we have to organize the way those bones can move. I don't see more 
than a handful of people agreeing to any thing.
