Student projects within orocos context?

In my Robotics class, students must make a project in groups of two or
three. The contents of the projects range from quite theoretical to
software implementations. I was wondering whether we might find some
project of this latter category that could be useful for Orocos and in
which students at different labs can collaborate.  (Or compete...)

One thing I could think of is extending the graphical interface that
Anthony showed on the Orocos meeting. This is a task which is not too
difficult to divide into more or less independent parts, once we agree
on a certain vision and structure.

Another thing could be the implementation of different trajectory
generators and/or control laws.

Give me a sign if your interested. Anyway, our projects starts within
a week or two, and have to be finished in December.
