Robot programming is many students' first exposure to the world of computer programming. As with so much of the computing world, however, different robot platforms are generally incompatible.

The Arduino IDE only brings the ire of actual EEs and People Who Know Better™, but if you’re teaching robotics and programming to kids, you really don’t want something as simple as a text editor with ...

Let’s face it, robots are cool. They’re also going to run the world some day, and hopefully, at that time they will take pity on their poor soft fleshy creators (a.k.a. robotics developers) and help ...

PaR-PaR, a simple high-level, biology-friendly, robot-programming language uses an object-oriented approach to make it easier to integrate robotic equipment into biological laboratories. Effective ...

Google LLC today debuted an internally developed software tool that can reduce the amount of effort involved in training a robot to perform new tasks. The tool is known as Code as Policies, or CaP. It ...

One of the more fascinating sights of an autumn evening is the flocking behaviour of starlings as they lurch and swoop in extraordinary demonstrations of aerodynamic synchronisation. It turns out that ...

A new version of the ROBOTC robot programming language gives students the ability to develop for a range of robot platforms. The new environment boasts high performance and rich features, and should ...

For decades, industrial robots have grown steadily more capable. Modern robot arms can move faster, more smoothly and more precisely than ever before, executing complex, multi-axis motion with ...

I have no idea what these VEX robots are, but ROBOTC is the language that was developed at Carnegie-Mellon. The goal of the language was to make a language that was easy to use to program robots.

Robots do have their own language – and yes, there’s a translator. That’s what I found out from my friend Manoj Karkee, an engineer at Washington State University who also is really curious about ...
