Task-level programming of a robotic system using high level logic language

The planning of robotics task is the main problem during the creation of the code for robot’s controller. In the initial phase of task designing, the program should be described on low level of details i.e. only the main actions should be concerned. This is so-called task-level approach and the program could be shown in the form of pseudo code, which is not standardised form of programming language. The analysis of the available literature points out that the formalised pseudocode could be successfully used for future processing in the field of mobile robotic, while the application in the field of stationary robotics is in early stage of development. However some task requires detailed analysis before creating the plan of program, because of complex task conditions. In such cases the operator could use the logic programming language, like Prolog, to solve the problem.
