Build an API prototype in Prolog for NXT-based robots

• low-level sensomotoric API, cover NXT funcs, provide control for motors, sensors, brick i/o
• mid-level mimic LEGO env blocks?? does it make sens?
• component-level: identify common robot parts that need control: wheel, sensor, arm, etc?
• robot-level: identify robot classes: e.g. im/mobile, rolling vs. walking; provide means to describe common robot designs, like the four provided by LEGO
• high-level provide services for different classes

Architecture:

• MVC, the above is logical model
• provide a V for every M component to support building of the interface

Issues:

• communication
• control
• design
• event handling, device polling

Ideas:

• think how to build a Prolog API for NXT
• investigate the LeJOS NXJ API to remain compatible
• investigate communication layer: one can use native NXT protocol, iCommand stack, other?
• middle layer for: integrating logic layer with communication layer

• fenomenologicznie :) mamy klocki, jakby można zrobić API?
• inżyniersko, mamy klocki, BT, jak się dogadać z Prologiem
