There are more than 1500 programming languages in the world that are too much to learn. Currently, there are 10 of the most popular programming languages in robotics-if you don't like them, please tell them in the message area. For robotics, each programming language has a different advantage. I only partially sorted them by importance from low to high.
10.basic/pascal
Basic and Pascal were the first two programming languages I had ever learned. But that's not why I've listed them here. For several industrial robot languages, these are the basics, as explained below. Basic is designed for beginners (Basic is abbreviated, Beginnersall-purposesymbolicinstructioncode), which allows beginners to start learning from a very simple programming language. Pascal is designed to encourage good programming habits and introduce structures such as pointers, which makes Pascal a "stepping stone" from basic to more complex languages. Now, these two languages are a bit outdated if they are to be said to be good "everyday use" programming languages. But if you're going to do a lot of low-level coding or want to familiarize yourself with other industrial robot programming languages, it's still useful to learn.
9. Industrial Robot programming language
Almost every robot manufacturer has developed their own proprietary robot programming language, which has become a problem in the industrial robotics industry. By learning Pascal, you will be familiar with a part of them. But every time you start using a new robot, you have to learn a new programming language.
In recent years, the Ros industry has begun to offer more standardized alternative languages to programmers. But if you're a technician, you're still more likely to have to use the manufacturer's programming language.
8.LISP
Lisp is the second oldest programming language in the world (Fortran is older, but only a year earlier). Compared to many other programming languages mentioned today, it is not widely used. But it is still very important in the field of AI programming. Part of Ros is written in Lisp, although you don't need to master this to use Ros.
7. Hardware Description Language (HDLS)
The hardware description language is generally used to describe the electrical programming method. These languages are quite familiar to some robotics experts because they are accustomed to FPGAs (fieldprogrammablegatearrays) programming. FPGAs allows you to develop electronic hardware without actually producing a silicon chip, which is a quicker and simpler option for some development. If you haven't developed an electronic prototyping product, you may never use HDLs. Even so, it is necessary to understand this programming language because they differ greatly from other programming languages. One focus: HDLs All operations are concurrent, rather than sequential operations based on the processor's programming language.
6.Assembly
Assembly allows you to program in 0 and 1 digits. Basically this is the lowest level of programming language. Just recently, the lowest-tier electronics needed to be programmed assembly. With the rise of Arduino and other such as microcontrollers, you can now easily program at the bottom by using C + +. This means that assembly may become more unnecessary for most robotics experts.
5.MATLAB
MATLAB and its related open source resources, such as octave, some robot engineers particularly like, it is 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 by using MATLAB. If you want to analyze data, produce advanced images, or implement control systems, you may want to learn about MATLAB.
4.c#/.net
C # is a dedicated programming language provided by Microsoft. I put c#/. NET is here, mainly because the Microsoft Robot Development employee is a package (Microsoftroboticsdeveloperstudio), the main development language of this package is C #. If you are going to use this system, then you probably have to use C #.
3.Java
As an electronic engineer, I was always amazed by the degree of computer science that taught Java as the first programming language for students to learn. Java hides the underlying storage functionality from the programmer, which makes it easier to write than some languages (such as C), but it also means you have less understanding of the logic behind the underlying code. If you have a computer science background and go to robotics (a lot of people, especially in the field of research), you may have studied Java. Like C # and Matlab,java is an interpretive language, which means it will not be compiled into machine code. Instead, the Java Virtual Machine interprets instructions at run time. Using Java, in theory, allows you to run the same code on different machines, thanks to the Java virtual machine. In practice, this is not always feasible and can sometimes cause code to run slowly. But Java is very popular in a part of robotics, so you may need it.
2.Python
In recent years, there has been a huge resurgence of people learning Python, especially in the field of robotics. One reason may be that Python (and C + +) is the two main programming languages in Ros. Unlike Java, Python focuses on ease of use, and Python does not require a lot of time to do regular things, such as defining and casting variable types. These things are very common in programming. In addition, Python also has a large number of free libraries, which means you don't have to "reinvent the wheel" when you need to implement some basic functionality. And because Python allows for simple binding with C + + code. This means that the performance of the heavy parts of the code can be implanted into these languages, thereby avoiding performance losses. As more and more electronic products begin to support "out-of-the-box" Python (along with Raspberrypi), we may see more python in the robot.
Note: The Raspberry pifoundation: a small charitable organization in the United Kingdom was founded to promote technology rather than selling technology for profit.
1.c/c++
Finally we got to the 1th-ranked robot programming language. Many people believe that C and C + + are a good starting point for the new robot scientists. Why. Because many hardware libraries use both languages. These two languages allow for interaction with low-level hardware, allowing real-time performance, and are a very mature programming language. Nowadays, you may use C + + more than C, because the former has more functions. C + + is basically an extension of C. It would be useful to learn a little C first, especially if you find a hardware library written in C. C + + is not as easy to use as Python or MATLAB. Using C to implement the same functionality will take a lot of time and will require more line code. However, because robots rely heavily on real-time performance, C and C + + are the closest programming languages to our robot experts ' standard language.
