A framework for controlling automated machines.  (jautomation)    
A framework for controlling automated machines such as CNC mills, lathes, etc. along with robots.

AutoSPOTs    
Remote-controlling a Sun SPOT controlled autobot (e.g. RC-controlled car hooked up to a Sun SPOT) . The autobot responds to the gestures on the remote SPOT such as the up, down, left, right movements and the switches. The autobots can be made autonomous by including sensors, self-tracing abilities.

Convert an image to a vector list.  (etching)   
Originally built for the JavaOne 2007 ABB robot demo to turn photographs of adendees into lists of vectors for the robot to draw.

Interoperability of Robotics Systems  (robot-fusion)   
Demonstration of inter-operation of Microsoft Robotics Studio with Java-based robots (JVex project), and SunSPOTs. We hope to expand this to include other popular platforms such as Mindstorms/JCX, Lego/NXT, and 802.15.4 wireless sensors such as the Telos motes.

Java AGents Unified ARchitecture  (jaguar)    
JAGUAR is a tool for research and experimentation with Reinforcement Learning and other algorithms. The tool maintains libraries of simulated worlds and agent algorithms. Multiple interacting entities are assembled and interconnected with the use of the GUI. The tool effectively creates a simulation framework of interacting/communicating components, some of which are able to adapt through interactive learning. Since most algorithms would be directly applicable to robotics applications we would like to make the tool compatible with robotics kits. The initial version of the tool was developed to run the experiments for a PhD dissertation of Denis V. Batalov.

Java Haptics API  (JTouchToolkit)    
This project is currently a JNI Bindings to SensAble's OpenHaptics API with extensions to simplify working with and management of Haptic devices. We wish to release the API Open Source and guide the development of the API further into other Haptic device areas and also into combining more graphic rendering techniques with Haptics for those devices. The API presently has complete JNI bindings to OpenHaptics API from SensAble. This includes the HD API for low level device management and the HL API for combining with OpenGL or in Java case JOGL. We also hope by releasing the API Open Source we will be able to gather test data more quickly so we can identify bugs and hopefully fix them faster.

Java Robot Swarm  (jswarm)   
A swarm of heterogeneous robots, first developed by University of Utah and Systronix, using Java controllers, various sensors, and (mostly) Lego mechanicals.

Java Robotics API  (roboticsapi)

RoboControl     
RoboControl is a suite of client and server application which allows remote control of a robot using wireless serial communication (Java Communication API) along with video streaming of a camera mounted on the robot (Java Media Framework)

Robot Framework  (robotframework)    
Robot Framework is a Java software framework intended to provide core classes for small device robotics.

Robot I/O Point Tagging  (IoPointTagging)   
Tagging API to attach detailed information to each I/O point in an industrial or robotic system. This makes it possible for a heterogeneous robot swarm to share a single code base. At startup each robot enumerates its I/O devices and automatically adapts itself to its particular collection of motors and sensors. Tagging is similar to the ideas expressed in the IEEE1451 Smart Sensor specification.

Robot Simulation and Control Lab  (RSCL)   
RSCL is a cross-platform application framework for all types of robots. It has been designed to be equally adept at simulation and actual robot control.

Robotics RFI at OMG  (RoboticsRfiOmg)   
Community response to the RFI within the Robotics DSIG at the Object Management Group.

Robotics with Java  (jrobotics)    
JRobotics tries to unite robotics fans and researchers who want to program their robots with Java, through forums, e-mail lists, open source projects...
