Interactive robot programming system for educational use

Abstract

According to the standardization of the robot programming language SLIM in Japan, the authors have developed the language interpreter with its programming environment for educational use. The system is installed on a personal computer with a low cost mini-robot. This paper first shows the language specification of SLIM, explains the developed programming environment with its user interface, and describes considerations on robot programming together with some of the experiences gained in teaching students using this system.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
