ZDRL: A Motion-Oriented Robot Programming Language

Abstract

This paper is about the design and implementation of a motion-oriented robot language ZDRL. The interpreter is the mechanism for implementing this language. A user-friendly. programming environment is provided, which consists Of editing, debugging, executing, and accessing of user programs. Comparing with the existing robot languages such as VAL, MCL, etc., ZDRL has advantages of the lower computer requirement, Abundant language control structures and diverse debugging facilities. ZDRL is implemented on IBM-PC and has been used for the control of Rhino XR-1 robot.
