Prolog – Mindstorms (I)

The last friday, I received my Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 – THANKS! Unfortunately, I lack the necessary power supply in form of 6AA batteries. Clearly, I went to my favorite retailer – Amazon – and ordered a couple of rechargeable ones (including the recharger).

Since my mind is somehow attached to Prolog, I asked myself would it be possible to do the mind-storming in Prolog … so I fired up the information retrieval engine of the day … and hit:

  1. [English] New Mexico State University: Building and Programming Robots

  2. [German] University of Potsdam: Programmieren in Prolog

    Programmierung sowie die Implementation von Aufgaben für
    den Roboter

  4. [English] Fermé and Gaspar: RCX+PROLOG

  6. [English] Nalepa: Prototype Prolog API for Mindstorms NXT

Clearly, I will inspect some of these resources soon to see what’s in the Lego Prolog toolbox. Until then happy robot-building.
