[ACT-R-users] ACT-R robot

ACT-CV  (computer vision for ACT-R) uses OpenCV, too. You should take a look at the code at
http://act-cv.sourceforge.net/

You will find a client/server version of ACT-CV there, which already does some of the stuff you're looking for: 
- doing some machine vision (OpenCV) on one computer, 
- sending the result to another computer that runs ACT-R
- sending the actions of ACT-R (keypresses only in ACT-CV) back to the first computer

Greetings
Marc

We have also written a small paper about it (in german):
