This article presents an overview of the Large Binocular Telescope Observatory's Control Software. It is focused on how the system is capable of driving a complex, multi-axis robot - which happens to be one of the largest astronomical telescopes. Observer and telescope operator user interfaces are discussed. The article concludes with changes already performed and planned for the next few years.
