The unification of the controllers for the virtual and real robot has been realized by introducing software adapters for two robots respectively and employing ART-Linux on which real-time processing is available at the user level. Thanks to the unification, the controllers can share softwares with the dynamics simulator of V-HRP, including the parameter parser, kinematics and dynamics computations and the collision detector. This feature can make the development of the controllers more efficient and the developed controllers more reliable.} }
