They are very closely related. Depending on who you ask (and when you ask) you 
might hear that a module is a generic term for a unit of functionality, while 
a component is a CORBA enabled module, or something that comes very close to 
it (nameserving seems obligatory to qualify)

example of a module : a TrajectoryGenerator class implementing one interface.
example of a component :  a nameserved Robot, offering lots of services (read 
lots of interfaces)
