Abstract :
Rapid integration of heterogeneous computer resources which control manufacturing and robotic devices is recently gaining considerable attention. This paper presents an effort of integration of the Robotics and Intelligent Systems Laboratory at SDSU by using the Orbix implementation of the CORBA framework. A focus has been put on the connection of the Robot Shell which runs under the QNX operating system and the Cimetrix graphic simulator which runs under Windows NT
