Hi all,
We are a research group in Italy working in biological inspired robotic
systems. We intent to create a robotic experimental setup using a network of
QNX’s machines. We are highly interested to contact research groups or
people with adquired experience doing this kind of stuff.
We are particularly interested in next issues:
-High performance network connections ( optic fiber, gigabit, multiple
networks cards [does FLEET do this work??]).
-Avaible FrameGrabbers with QNX drivers.
-Avaible Motion Control Boards with QNX drivers.
-Avaible Analogic/Digital convertors…
-High capacity image distribution alternatives…
-Robotic architectures based in IPC.
-Adecuate computer hardware configurations…
-SMP possibilities…
…etc
If you want to know more about us please just visit our web site:

We will apreciate any help.

This is excellent work! QNX has been used for many robotics and industrial
automation projects. In particular, the MIT Media Lab has a robotics lab
using QNX, the Canadian Arm used in constructing the Space Station is using
a QNX based vision system and you may be interested in the University of
Waterloo’s WARG project.
I expect to see Chris McKillop posting here in a day or two. Here’s a link
to WARG:

Do you have a particular hardware configuration for your project, or are you
just starting out?

Hi William,
Yes, we are just starting. Indeed we are a little overcome. We have
experience with Linux, but neither with Real Time or QNX, so everything is
new. Our experiments run actually in a robotic setup working with NT, but
definitely we want to do a quality jump changing to QNX 
.
I am particulary impresed by the fact that the Canadian Robotic Arm used in
the ISS is using QNX. This gives us a good motivation 
.
Thank you for the link to WARG!
Surelly see you soon.
Ciao!.
