Welcome
The SourceWorks has been founded to promote, teach and support the adoption of free and open source software in (real-time) machine control applications.
Your company or research institute can rely on our services to help you accelerate the development of your embedded control systems. We're relying on a decade of experience in Linux and eight years in the real-time Linux ecosystem in the fields of robotics, machine control and distributed control.
The SourceWorks is more than a traditional Linux consulting company. We also invest in open source tools especially targeted at real-time control applications and thus help our customers far beyond the classical consulting job.
This is just a grasp of the services we can offer you:
- Training of your team in open source technologies such as GNU/Linux application development, Eclipse, Xenomai and Orocos
- Guiding you with the choice and setup of an embedded Linux environment (host and target) for your proprietary control applications
- Testing hardware for its real-time characteristics
- Developing features for open source software projects
Don't hesitate to contact us to find out how we can cooperate to achieve your next milestone!
The SourceWorks and PAL-Robotics join in Orocos development

PAL Technology Robotics The European leader in humanoid robotics, PAL Robotics, a division of PAL Technology located in Barcelona, has contracted The SourceWorks to invest significantly in the Open Source robotics and machine control framework Orocos. The SourceWorks will enhance the Orocos Real-Time Toolkit (RTT) in order to make it more portable across platforms, inter-operable with other (open source) control software and user friendly for first-time users.
This six months project will bundle these efforts in a RTT 2.0 release which is planned for January 2010. The development is done completely in the open and any Orocos user can check the progress and milestones at any point in time. For more information about the development status, take a look at the Orocos RTT 2.0 wiki pages.
