- Machine learning: MATLAB, OCTAVE, Python.

- Artificial intelligence: LISP, Python.

- Arduino/Raspberry Pi: C++, Python, Golang.
- Industrial: Pascal, RAPID (ABB), KRL (Kuka), PDL2 (Comau), INFORM (Yaskawa), AS
(Kawasaki), Karel (Fanuc), VAL3 (Stäubli), URScript (Universal), ROS, NXT.

Hardware: (For FPGA) verilog, VHDL

Firmware (micro-controllers): C/C++, assembly, Java, (Arduino uses a wrapper around
C)
Scripts for micro-processors: bash, Python, Bonescript
Controls: Matlab/Octave/Simulink, C/C++ with additional optimization libraries
Image Processing, Signal Processing (not hardware based): C/C++, sometimes Java,
Python
Drivers: C/C++
Some other required packages forming backbone: C/C++, Python, Java (example ROS)
Low level cognition (this includes localization, planing, mapping, etc.): Python,
C/C++ , Matlab
High level cognition: C++ (with extension engines), Python
Extension engines (also used independently sometimes. Were more independently used
in past, now are embedded in C++/Python applications): Lisp, Lua, Prolog
Custom languages: Build on the architecture specified above to present simple to
use commands to user. Developed using flex, bison.

ROBOTC is a powerful C-based programming language with a Windows environment for

writing and debugging programs, and the only programming language at this level
that offers a comprehensive, real-time debugger. ROBOTC is a cross-platform
solution that allows students to learn the type of c-based programming used in
advanced education and professional applications.
Benefits of using ROBOTC
Uses the industry standard C-programming language. Additional language extensions
specifically for robotic use.
Modern Windows GUI with standard visual interface.
The only solution with fully integrated software debugger allowing users to step
line by line through program execution and analysis of all variables.
Additional debugging tools allow the user to see the real time states of all motors
and sensor. These are viewed as your program is running; not as a separate
application!
Single solution works for both VEX Cortex and VEX PIC. No need to purchase two
different applications.
Over 100 Sample Programs with extensive documentation so students and hobbyists can
get started learning how to program
Advanced source code editor with smart indenting, automatic code competition and a
tabbed interface to allow multiple program to be open at the same time
Free webinars, video tutorials, community forums, detailed help files, and
curriculum provided by Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Academy.
ROBOTC skills easily transitions into use of professional tools used by engineers.
Not a dead end skill for VEX only!
ROBOTC has the same form and feel, often even the same command names, as
professional tools used on other systems.
