Urbi is just a program you run on your system as a daemon. So answer C: you need an functional system with an OS, and Urbi is essentially a middleware + a scripting language + a C++ components architecture.

Basically, if your system is large enough (it has its own OS - Linux most likely - and has decent computing capabilities), you can run Urbi on it as a service. This is the approach we use on Nao for instance. The smallest robot we managed to make Urbi run on is Spykee: 2.5 MB of flash, 32 MB of RAM, 150 Mhrz ARM CPU.

If your device is too small (a controller card with a firmware, a minimal Unix system, ...), you can write UObjects which are pluggable Urbi component. The only requirement is that you have a reasonably recent C++ toolchain for your hardware. These UObjects can then be run on the device as autonomous program, which will remotely connect to an Urbi kernel on another host - which implies you need an IP connectivity. This is the approach we use for Bioloids or Lego mindstorm for instance.

I might be able you help you further if you give me details about your project and hardware.
