Chapter 17: Robot Programming – Robot Programming Languages
Abstract: For programming robots, common languages include C/C++, Python, Java, and C# , each with strengths depending on the robot's task and the desired level of control. Here's a more detailed breakdown of popular languages used in robotics: Popular Languages: C/C++: C++ is a powerful, object-oriented language often used for real-time applications and low-level hardware control, making it a strong choice for robotics. C is also used for its efficiency and direct hardware access. Python: Python's simplicity and extensive libraries, especially in machine learning and artificial intelligence, make it popular for developing complex robot behaviors and integrating with the Robot Operating System (ROS). Java: Java's platform independence and modularity are valuable for creating robust and portable robot applications. C#: C# is another versatile language, often used for simulations and digital environments in robotic...
