What is best programming language for robotics?

Question

Robotics

Answer 1

For robotics you'd learn HDL(Hardware description Languages) like Verilog etc. these languages are similar to C language. You can easily learn it if you know languages like C and C++.

Answer 2

But right now Raspberry Pi is really common and you can use Python with it too.

Answer 3

I guess a good point to start is C, because it's a language close to hardware and supported by most microcontrollers, compilers,...

@Mohammed: Why should a HDL be necessary? I think due to parallel execution, synchronous or asynchronous logic,... it is not that easy. And you have to program also hardware present in most microcontrollers.

Answer 4

I strongly recommend processing. Java like language and has a lot of example codes. It is a first class citizen of the arduino platform. http://processing.org

Answer 5

Verilog

Answer 6

Robotc.net is a robot programming language
other wise python,java
