Abstract

Robot applications are mostly first developed on a computer and thereafter loaded onto the robot. However, in many situations, developing applications directly on the robot may be more effective. For instance, children who have not learned using a computer yet and who develop their robot applications while playing. Or for instance in the robots' operating environment, where there is no computer available. In this contribution we present the properties of the software tool becerik, for developing applications on-board a robot and for running them in multi-tasking mode concurrently. Furthermore, we introduce the programming language of the applications that has the same name becerik, which consists of only 6 commands.
