There was an interesting paper in the IEEE Journal of Robotics & Automation
about two years ago that described the need for a good standard programming
environment with which to write robot control software (how's that for a
verbose sentence?).  It seems systems are being constantly re-invented.  I
think I remember reading that the FORTH language is commonly used in writing 
manipulator control systems.  What about mobile robots?
