Dolittle is a educational programming language that helps students learning principles and concepts of computer science with programming. Learning programming with robot improve learning achievements robot motivate to be interest with programming. However, Dolittle robot programming is a different from Dolittle programming in process of interpretation and execution mechanism. Therefore, students have virtually to learn two languages to control robot and it would reduce the worth of Dolittle as educational programming language. In order to solve this problem, we tried to Unify Dolittle and robot control language using parser that Dolittle program with turtle object convert robot program. But this try couldn't overcome completely this problem because attributes of turtle object is different from robot. In this research we unified Dolittle programming and Dolittle robot programming as a way of adding new robot object in dolittle standard object group. it would improve educational effect of learning programming with robot in Dolittle.

With the progress in process automation, it becomes necessary that a robot should have various sophisticated capabilities. A robot programming language is a tool that can give a robot such capabilities without any change in robot architecture. Especially a task level automatic programming system enables a robot able to perform a job intelligently. Therefore anyone who is not an expert on welding or robot programming can easily use it. In this research, basic automatic welding program is combined with workspace information, which makes users do an arc welding job automatically.

In this paper, we develop the basic robot commands on the level of VAL robot language and the integrated environment software of the robot management system to give users an easy way of programming and running the robot. The developed software is designed to support Korean language and to be run by the pop-up menus for programming commands and inputs. Geometrical and dynamical features can be viewed on a computer monitor by graphics and the taught works can be interfaced with a computer and controllers.

Robot programming often sparks students' interest in programming, but it is not easy for them to program both procedure and reactivity of robot movements that are essential requirements. In this study, we reviewed in detail a new programming language, State-Based Squeak. It allows novice students to implement both procedure and reactivity of robots easily. The effect of this new language on robot programming education was also examined using a group of 28 middle school students. According to the results of analyzing the students' understanding of programming, reading and programming abilities the group that used State-Based Squeak (the experimental group) showed a higher completion ratio than the other (control) group. The significance of this study is that a robot programming language has been developed that addresses the concepts of both procedure and reactivity in such a way that middle school students can more easily learn how to program robots, something that is often difficult to attempt even for professional programmers.

Programming novices have various difficulties when they learn C language for the first time. Novices have a large burden for understanding of a C language grammar, and have a tendency to focus on the grammar rather than problem solving. Moreover, it requires programming domains to arouse student's interest for software development. This paper presents a programming environment for C languages education focusing on a problem solving. To this end, this paper defines Tiny-VPL that is a simple visual programming language for NXT robot programming and presents robot programming environment using Tiny-VPL. This paper also presents an environment for NXT robot programming using Mini-C language which is a subset of C language. For the purpose of helping to understand the C syntax and semantics, the visual and interactive conversion system of Tiny-VPL to Mini-C is provided. Our programming environment can arouse student's interest through robot programming and can be used effectively for C language education focusing on problem solving with graphical and interactive conversion of the visual language Tiny-VPL to the textual language Mini-C.

This paper presents an algorithmic approach used in the development of a task-level off-line programming system for the efficient applicaiton of robot. In the method, robot tasks are graphically described with manipulation functions. By applying robot language these graphic robot tasks are converted into commands for the robot. A programming example demonstrates the potentiality of task-oriented robot programming.

In this paper, a programming system for SCARA-type robots is designed, consisting of robot language, computational facilities and programming tools for handling interconnection environments. In designing the robot language, CLRC(C Library for Robot Control) is introduced, using the general-purpose language 'C' as base programming language. Also the motion primitives for Continuous Path control as well as Point-To-Point motion arc included. By means of frame and homogeneous transformations the system is capable of applying the SCARA-type robot efficiently and easily for any given task.

Many works have been reported in various fields on the subject of controlling a robot with high-level robot languages. This paper presents one such effort and explains the development of an automatic robot programming system which utilizes the concept of the task level language. This system is expected to act as an intelligent supporting tool in robot programming and be put into practical use. Emphasis is placed on the role of the programming system as a tool that generates the executable robot program according to the user specified tasks. Several task level commands are used in the developed system, and the resulting inflexibility is complemented by the motion level commands of the motion level robot languages. Thus, the advantages of both task and motion level languages are utilized, and no knowledge of specific language grammer is needed even when using motion level commands. To increase the usability of the developed system, various methods are provided for supplementing the programming system using taught data.

In this paper, among the robot programming languages that enable processing of sensory information, eight exemplary languages are chosen, and investigated in terms of their characteristics, why they are designed the way they are, and the kind of sensors each language can use and apply to. In addition, the characteristics of each language is compared with one another from the sensor point of view and the flow of each language is analyzed from the robot language classification point of view. Finally, We investigate the progress and the requirements of the sensor-based robot programming languages for further developments.

An Intelligent service robot performs various complex tasks in dynamic environment, providing useful intelligent services for human users. The robot needs to continuously monitor dynamically changing environment and reactively choose the best behavior for the changing context. The selected behaviors may include nondeterministic or parallel actions. In this paper, we present a structured reactive robot programming language, SPRIT that is based on Structured Circuit Semantics (SCS). SPRIT is fully implemented as a task executor and tested for reactive robot tasks in dynamic environment to show that it can be used to explicitly represent and effectively implement the complex reactive behaviors of intelligent robot systems.
