[Robotics] Middlewares: the sequel

[Séverin Lemaignan]

Hello everyone,

I've put on the wiki the current state of our design ideas for a 
component-based, middleware independent, simulator (check the two last 
sections on this page 
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Robotics:Simulators/OpenRobots).

We are currently implementing first examples of such components 
(starting with a GPS and a simple mobile robot), but it's still at 
drafting stage, and your reviews are very welcome.

It would be especially interesting to think of how to integrate what has 
been done on the arm in this workflow (if it's relevant). I'm also 
interested in Stefaan views regarding the possible use of channels 
within the component specification.

By the way, we have a meeting tomorrow at LAAS-CNRS and ONERA to update 
the roadmap. We'll keep you posted, but the target for a first, usable 
release of the OpenRobots simulator is likely to be mid-march.

Best regards,
Severin
