Abstract
We present our experiences using a purely functional language, Haskell,
in what has been traditionally the realm of low-level languages: robot
control. Frob (Functional Robotics) is a domain-specific
language embedded in Haskell for robot control. Frob is based on Functional
Reactive Programming (FRP), as initially developed for Fran, a language
of reactive animations. Frob presents the interaction between a robot
and its stimuli, both onboard sensors and messages from other agents,
in a purely functional manner. This serves as a basis for composable
high level abstractions supporting complex control regimens in a concise
and reusable manner.
