Title: Basic Introduction to Programming Robots
Abstract: I plan to give a low-key introduction to programming
robots, specifically a Lego Mindstorm robot, using the Java programming
language. This should be a nuts 'n' bolts talk -- you, a
computer, a robot -- how do you make the robot move, sing, react?
The talk will be aimed at as general an audience as possible -- anyone
who has programmed anything, using any language, should be able to
follow along.
