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.
