Aargh, copy-paste error. The Lego robot example is on Instagram of course :-)

Hi all,
it’s with great joy that I can announce the project that my PhD student Miguel and I have
been working on recently: Live Robot Programming, or LRP for short.
LRP is a live programming language designed for the creation of the behavior layer of
robots. It is fundamentally a nested state machine language built with robotics
applications in mind, but it is not bound to a specific robot middleware, API or OS. Have
a look at one minute of LRP programming to get an idea of what it is like:

Live programming is fun, and live robot programming even more so, as it brings all the
advantages of live programming to programming a robot. You get direct manipulation of a
running robot, and that’s just cool beyond words. As an example of LRP on a robot, this
guy was programmed in LRP:
http://youtu.be/4Ma8ZapBUqA Note that you can use LRP ‘just’
for live programming nested state machines as well.
More information on LRP is available on its website:
http://pleiad.cl/LRP where you can
also find download instructions.
LRP is implemented in Pharo, and uses Roassal2 for the visualization of its state
machines. We currently can steer the Lego Mindstorms EV3 and ROS robots, thanks to a small
layer on top of the cool Pharo support that Jannik, Luc, Santiago and Noury are
implementing at Douai. I am going to look into support for the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0esug in
a few weeks.
Miguel will be at ESUG next week (I cannot make it), and has a talk at the IWST workshop
about LRP, in the morning session. I am sure that he will also be happy to give demos of
LRP if you ask him to (but sadly without a robot).
All feedback is welcome, and … have fun!
