Operating System for Robots

Since its first inception, Robots have always been hard to standardize, Japan has its own RT Middleware to try and fight this issue, and other platforms such as ICE and Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio also exists.

Yet, efforts have not been oriented in the fact that a Robot may need a native OS to run and generate any function it is capable of.

For this reason some people are proposing to standardize an unique system, so development can be easily transferred from some platform to another, a good candidate for this is Willow Garage own OS system, which has proven to be most effective for their current research.
