The Rossum Project is an attempt to help.

Our goal is to collect, develop, and distribute software for for robotics applications. Over the last few years, open-source and free software initiatives have given computer users a remarkable collection of tools and capabilities. We hope to extend the same kind collaboration to the development of robotic software. To do so, we need your help... http://rossum.sourceforge.net/

Welcome to the homepage of the Open Automaton Project (OAP). The purpose of this project is to engineer modular software and electronic components, from which it is possible to assemble an intelligent PC-based mobile robot suitable for home or office environments. http://oap.sourceforge.net/index.php

The Robotic Operating System, ROS, is intended to operate at the center of behavior-based robotics systems. It provides the service of starting, stopping, and facilitating communications between behaviors. The ROS project includes source code for ROS programs and defines several communications XML data formats. The operating system consists of a set of a executable files that should compile and run on most UNIX-like systems. These programs are configured by XML formatted text files. http://ros.sourceforge.net/

What is Orca?
Orca is an open-source framework for developing component-based robotic systems. It provides the means for defining and developing the building-blocks which can be pieced together to form arbitrarily complex robotic systems, from single vehicles to distributed sensor networks. http://orca-robotics.sourceforge.net/

The Leaf Project is a group robot development program. The objective is to develop a robot platform that supports experiments with Artificial Intelligence, vision, navigation etc. For more, see http://leafproject.org/

Mavis is computer-vision software for mobile robots. It's part of an ongoing, group robotics project, called Leaf. Its API is task oriented, and the vision tasks it performs are those we have needed for our robots: locate homebase, detect obstacles, and so on. Mavis runs on Windows XP (the OS that Leaf uses). Its interface is implemented as a separate dll, so mavis users can develop in any language that links to dlls, including C/C++, VisualBasic, Java, Lisp, Prolog, or Forth.
