We (me and some others at the Hacker Dojo in Mountain View) are using a Raspberry Pi to run ROS in order to build a sub-$500 component-cost robot. We've played around with the GPIO pins, and one person is currently setting up an RPi virtual machine (and has been very successful). There are a number of people in the Homebrew Robotics Club here who have been using Raspberry Pi for various robots, similarly running ROS; Willow Garage has announced that they are going to start supporting Raspberry Pi, to reduce duplicate effort.<br>
