Very interesting aspect, I share this view. The only but major difference to the web consortium will be the higher technologically complexity you're faced to when looking at robotics: instead of establishing just protocols and standards for the packaging of information, when harmonising robotics you'll have to consider headlines like artificial intelligence and computing architectures. Both will dramatically change in the next years and decades. Definition of standards above abstraction layers would perhaps work somehow with the computing aspect, but not with AI: the changes we can expect will be too deep. A robotics W3C could help with a lot of issues but we should be aware of freezing development at today's essential concepts. This would perhaps speed up product development but simultaneously slow down deeper innovation. Nikolai Ensslen, Synapticon, Germany
