[httphttps://orca-robotics.sourceforge.net/ Orca] describes its goals as:

* to enable software reuse by defining a set of commonly- used interfaces;

* to simplify software reuse by providing libraries with a high-level convenient API; and

* to encourage software reuse by maintaining a repository of components.

They also state: "To be successful, we think that a framework with such objectives must be: general, flexible and extensible; sufficiently robust, high-performance and full-featured for use in commercial applications, yet sufficiently simple for experimentation in university research environments."<ref name=orcao>{{cite web|title=Orca Overview|url=httphttps://orca-robotics.sourceforge.net/orca_doc_overview.html|accessdate=7 May 2017}}</ref>

They describe their approach as:

[https://research.csiro.au/software/spring/ DDX (Dynamic Data eXchange)] is ([[Linux]]/[[Berkeley Software Distribution|BSD]]/[[Unix]]) middleware developed by [[CSIRO]] to provide a lightweight real-time [[Publish–subscribe pattern|publish/subscribe]] service to distributed robot controllers. DDX allows a coalition of programs to share data at run-time through an efficient [[shared memory]] mechanism. Multiple machines can be linked by means of a global naming service and, when needed, data is [[Multicast address|multi-cast]] across machines.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Corke |first=Peter |last2=Sikka |first2=Pavan |last3=Roberts |first3=Jonathan |last4=Duff |first4=Elliot |date=2004 |title=DDX: A distributed software architecture for robotic systems |url=https://eprints.qut.edu.au/33835/ |journal=Australasian Conference on Robotics and Automation 2004}}</ref> DDX was developed to automate a number of [https://research.csiro.au/robotics/our-work/solutions/miningtech/ large mining machines]: including [[Dragline excavator|draglines]], [[LHD (load, haul, dump machine)|LHD trucks]], [[Excavator|excavators]] and rock-breakers.
