Robot control and programming
Keywords: Internet, Robotics
The Orocos project started as a Free Software project for robotics, but it has outgrown its robotics-dependent roots. Hence, “Orocos” now consists of two decoupled but integrated sub-projects: Open Realtime Control Services and Open Robot Control Software.
This site should be useful for anyone wanting to use/develop software for robotics. It is a very specific application but interesting to those who are involved in the software side of robotics control.
Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/industrial_robot) is a free online encyclopaedia this link will take you directly to a page dedicated to industrial robots. Within this article you can find further links to interesting robotic sites and companies. It is a general overview of robotics and so will only be of interest to our readers who are just starting out in robotics.
Founded in 1979, the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) is a nonprofit scientific society devoted to advancing the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behaviour and their embodiment in machines.
Major AAAI activities include organizing and sponsoring conferences, symposia, and workshops, publishing a quarterly magazine for all members, publishing books, proceedings, and reports, and awarding grants, scholarships, and other honours. All their activities are detailed on their web site; it is an interesting place to visit if you have the time.
