I initially started developing a project called "Nodium" as a custom graphical programming tool. However, during the process, I discovered existing tools that already provided the functionality I ...

RAFCON (RMC advanced flow control) uses hierarchical state machines, featuring concurrent state execution, to represent robot programs. It ships with a graphical user interface supporting the creation ...

No matter what the technical specialty, the education of most engineers includes at least a taste of a popular textual programming language, such as Java, C, C++ or Visual Basic, just to name a few.

A control application can be defined as a computer system that acquires data from sensors and issues commands to the physical process via actuators. Present in all industrial sectors, these ...
