Hi, I did the same thing a year ago for the canadian space agency in java3d. The vrml files can be loaded easally in java3d with a loader, like vrmlLoader from sun.
You probably have to connect all the joints together. Usally the pieces are construct at the origine in CAD. That mean that your gone to have to know all the initial position (x,y,z,pitch,yaw,roll) of the objects. You gone to have to put the objects in differents Transformgroup depending on the configuration of your robot. There a lot of documentation on that on the web (serach: robot+animation+simulation). You can also use the Jacobien method to move your robot. Dont know if that gone to help you in some way!! Good luck with your project.
