Here are some more or less Squeak robotics related links I've saved, perhaps they will be of some use:
http://sky.fit.qut.edu.au/~sitte/
http://wiki.itolab.com/wiki.cgi?page=About+Defart
http://www.robotis.com/html/sub.php?sub=1&menu=3
This one I think was for a wiki that Serge Stinckwich had going but does not appear to work now. http://www.iutc3.unicaen.fr/serge/SqueakBot Perhaps you can contact him about it via http://www.iutc3.unicaen.fr/c3/SergeStinckwich.

Jon Hylands is doing robot control in Squeak, see www.huv.com and several others do too.
Thanks Herbert, yes, I already get a lot of help directly from Jon and that's how I know about sockets and how to interface to packages like OpenCV that is written in C++.
So far it looks like the practical approach involves using an external vision system that you interface Squeak to. So you end up coding in C/C ++ or conceivably some other language like Python for that part of the system.
Maybe this question requires advanced answers and should be posed on the dev forum but it's really a newbie question and is very important for anyone thinking about using Squeak in a science or engineering context.
You will find information in the archives of squeak dev.
I'll look through the archives for this discussion.
