Ok here's a discussion that may turn to war, but...
I'm a compsci major interested in the operating system side of things,
but I've been looking at ideas for my masters thesis (which isn't
for a while, but..)
I'm wondering what people use for interface with robots...I mean not
the actual a/d stuff, but what languages, what type of communication.
I think a worthwhile thesis would be a language that is modular enough
to communicate with any interface you use/design, but doesnt require
a mastery of C to get a robot to navigate...
anyways, tell me what you use here, or email some stuff so I can
get some ideas...
