to.

 Just an FYI,

 That's one of the main arguments you'll hear from the
 engineers at Willow
 Garage, a unique startup in Menlo Park, CA, that's
 developing hardware and
 software for a new generation of personal robots. You can't
 name a single
 Internet company, they say, that would have succeeded if it
 had been forced
 to recreate all the basic tools underlying the Web, from the
 Linux operating
 system to the Apache HTTP server to the MySQL database
 system to the Python,
 Perl, and PHP programming languages-the ingredients of the
 so-called LAMP
 stack. Yet most robot companies still try to reinvent the
 wheel every time,
 building robots that require putting together a tangled mess
 of proprietary,
 one-off software systems.

 Linuxcnc was already mentioned in one of the early
 comments.
 
 Also interesting and perhaps applicable is the discussion
 about STEP-NC on
 the developers mailing list.
