Teach your Robot an LL(1)-Jargon

When we talk about teaching a robot an LL(l)-jargon, we mean specifying a langage processor, i.e. an acceptor and transducer that is able to translate robot instructions into machine code for the control unit of that robot. A syntax-directed development is proposed, i.e. a software method in which the syntax of the input of the application plays a sentral role. The syntax forms a frame on which semantic actions, attributes, local and global information can be attached. More specifically we use the ELL(1) format for the description of the langage. From this syntax-directed description an executable program is automatically produced using the Visual MIRA^TM tool.

We illustrate the usage of this LL(1)-jargons, in the description of an anticipating process of a robot.
