OpenRTM: CORBA-based "Robot Technology" middleware from Japan...

FYI.

The OpenRTM project

is a heavily supported Japanese open source (LGPL) project to produce
generic "RT" (Robot Technology) middleware. They know very well about
Orocos, and have been inspired, I was told by the project manager who I met
last week...

Some direct links to useful overview information:


Much of the documentation and code comments are still in Japanese...

FYI, this used for the HRP2 at LAAS (the "Gepetto" research group)

And do you have some information about how they like or evaluate it?

I also know that there is a close cooperation between the OpenRTM and the
OpenHRP open source projects in Japan:
