    Controlling a 6 axes Robot, what software?

    Hello there,

    First of all, i'm not sure if this is the correct section, but from all of them this one seemed like the one "less wrong" on here.

    I am here asking if you guys know open source software to control a 6 axes Robot.
    It does not need to be free, but it must be based on a open standart.

    I mostly only need names, i will do the heavy research myself, but if possible add vantages/disadvantages to software you recommend.

    The motors to be controlled are normal DC motors, and the positioning of the axes are provided by potentiometers.

    Any help is truly appreciated, and i will try myself to add some software to this list until the end of the weekend.

    Happy developing, satanicoo.

    Have you investigated the following options?:

    Option1: RTAI as realtime kernel and controller designed in simulink/matlab or scilab/scicos

    Option2: The Orocos Project | Smarter control in robotics & automation!
