Programming robots can be a slow and challenging endeavor. This researcher asked: is it possible to design an application that can translate English instructions directly into compilable code that a robot can execute? …
The goal was to assist those struggling with existing graphic and text-based programming languages. With this in mind, he embarked on a project to help robots understand commands written in natural human language. He limited design and testing to a prototype robot called Tribot and used only a basic set of instructions. The resulting application, SIMPLE, analyzes and translates English sentences into C-code. It also compiles and downloads them, as well as assisting users via prompts that request required information to program the robot.
