| Popis: | The application of visual programming techniques to the problem of robot control has recently begun to receive considerable attention, partly due to the impetus provided by an annual robot programming competition conducted at the Visual Languages Conferences. We report on several approaches to this problem which range from applying a general-purpose visual programming language, Prograph, as one would apply any language to a programming problem, to an implementation of two special-purpose languages based on a model for robot control. Although these investigations have led towards increasingly direct domain-specific visualisations, the resulting systems provide concrete representation and direct manipulation only of abstract structures. We conjecture that the most appropriate level at which to program robot control, is the level at which the robot and its environment are concretely represented and directly manipulated. We propose a framework in which such a system might be achieved. |
