This article is to share with you about the common programming languages of industrial robots. The editor thinks it is very practical, so share it with you as a reference and follow the editor to have a look.

Commonly used programming languages for industrial robots: 1, hardware description language (HDLs), generally used to describe electrical programming methods; 2, Assembly language; 3, MATLAB;4, Candles.NETETET5, Java;6, Python;7, Cmax Candle +.

Languages commonly used in robot programming:

1. Hardware description language (HDLs)

Hardware description language is generally used to describe electrical programming. These languages are quite familiar to some roboticians because they are used to FPGAs programming. FPGAs allows you to develop electronic hardware without actually producing a silicon chip, which is a faster and easier choice for some developers. If you haven't developed an electronic prototype, you may never use HDLs. Even so, it is necessary to understand this programming language because they are very different from other programming languages. One important point: all operations in HDLs are concurrent, not sequential operations based on the processor's programming language.

2 、 Assembly

Assembly allows you to program on 0 and 1 digits. Basically, this is the lowest programming language. Just recently, the lowest level of electronics required Assembly to program. With the rise of Arduino and others such as microcontrollers, you can now easily program at the bottom using C _ plus. This means that Assembly may become less necessary for most roboticists.

3 、 MATLAB

MATLAB and its related open source resources, such as Octave, are especially loved by some robot engineers, which are used to analyze data and develop control systems. There is also a very popular robot toolbox-MATLAB. I know some experts who can develop the whole robot system just using MATLAB. If you want to analyze data, generate advanced images, or implement control systems, you may want to learn MATLAB.

4 、 C#/.NET

C # is a special programming language provided by Microsoft. I put C#/.NET here mainly because of Microsoft Robot developer employee package (Microsoft RoboTIcs Developer Studio), the main development language of which is C #. If you are going to use this system, then you will probably have to use C #.

5 、 Java

As an electrical engineer, I am always surprised that some computer science degree courses use Java as the first programming language for students. Java hides the underlying storage capabilities from programmers, which makes it easier to write than some languages such as C, but it also means that you understand less of the running logic of the underlying code. If you have a computer science background and switch to robotics (as many people do, especially in the field of research), you may have studied Java. Languages like C # and MATLAB,Java are interpretative languages, which means that it will not be compiled into machine code. Instead, the Java virtual machine interprets instructions at run time. Using Java theoretically allows you to run the same code on different machines, thanks to the Java virtual machine. In practice, this is not always possible and sometimes causes the code to run slowly. But Java is very popular in some robotics, so you may need it.

6 、 Python

In recent years, there has been a huge comeback for Python learners, especially in the field of robotics. One reason may be that Python (and C++) are the two main programming languages in ROS. Unlike Java, where Python focuses on ease of use, Python doesn't need much time to do routine things, such as defining and casting variable types. These are very common things in programming. In addition, Python has a large number of free libraries, which means you don't have to "reinvent the wheel" when you need to implement some basic functions. And because Python allows simple binding to the Cmax Candle + code. This means that the performance of heavy parts of the code can be embedded in these languages, thus avoiding performance loss. As more and more electronic products begin to support "out-of-the-box" Python (along with RaspberryPi), we may see more Python in robots. Note: The Raspberry Pi FoundaTIon: a small charitable organization in the UK, set up to promote technology, not to sell technology for profit.

7. CAccord Clippers +

Finally, we came to the No. 1 robot programming language! Many people think that C and C++ are a good starting point for new roboticists. Why? Because many hardware libraries use these two languages. These two languages allow interaction with low-level hardware, allow real-time performance, and are very mature programming languages. Nowadays, you may use C++ more than C because the former has more functions. C++ is basically an extension of C. It's useful to learn a little C first, especially if you find that a hardware library is written in C. It's not as easy to use as Python or MATLAB. It will also take a lot of time and more lines of code to implement the same function in C #. However, because robots rely heavily on real-time performance, C and C++ are the programming languages closest to the "standard language" of our robotics experts.
