Question

Which is the best programming language to create robotic or automatic machine application ?

Answer 1

Use C language if your logic is simple.Most robotics applications require looping of basic operations of motors,sensors,LED's,LCD's etc.These can be implemented using the basic set of operations in C.

Higher languages like C# or Java could be used for more difficult tasks like image processing.

Answer 2

I like the Arduino board. Plug it into the USB port of your computer for learning software programming. Choice of languages. Personally, I like Java.



Look also at the Lego Mindstorm. Then you will know what direction to go in learning ANSI C to program the microprocessors that switch the other circuitboard electronics..

Answer 3

I would recommend Java

Answer 4

I think assembly language will be the best.should have the knowledge of microprocessor and microcontroller.

Answer 5

C++ / ASM language

Answer 6

I personaly would sugesst C++

Answer 7

Depends on the hardware you are using for your robot. C would probably be best because of it's lower level functions, but not very easy...

Answer 8

I would say that you could use RobotC, EasyC, C/C++, ASM or Java. You may need some knowledge in CAD and Autodesk as well. You may have to learn wiring, sensors, and few other things depending on what you want to do, although there are ways of programming robots without creating them or typing code.
