Robots and Open Source

A new article in The News & Observer describes the growing displacement of Microsoft's proprietary software with Free Software and Open Source. In particular, the article talks about Linux-based robots being developed at the NCSU Center for Robotics and Intelligent Machines. The software developed for their evolutionary mobile robots would not have been possible without the freedoms provided by Free Software which allow the user to see and modify the source code.

Dallas, TX actually. But most papers are available on The Net these days so we see headlines from all over. Good luck with your project, by the way.
