David, 
 
I cannot answer your question directly, but I have done 
some work which may be related to your interest. 
A while back, I wrote a small-scale Java application 
that simulated a 2-D mobile robot.  The interactions between 
the simulator and the robot simulacrum were based on an 
event model very much like that provided by the Java AWT... 
the more I worked with it, the more it seemed like a 
natural way of working the mobile robot problem. 
I've got source code and notes at 
 
   http://rossum.sourceforge.net/sim.html
