Help: Open source software for a Robot

[satanicoo]

Hello there,

I am here asking if you guys know open source software to control a 6 axes Robot.
It does not need to be free, but it must be based on a open standart.

I mostly only need names, i will do the heavy research myself, but if possible add vantages/disadvantages to software you recommend.

The motors to be controlled are normal DC motors, and the positioning of the axes are provided by potentiometers.

Any help is trully apreciated, and i will try myself to add some software to this list untill the end of the weekend.

Happy developing, satanicoo.
