Is it possible to adopt Java in robotics?

Question

Java

Is java useful in robotics?

Answer 1

Why not? Java is used in places you don't even think about, for example: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Card

Answer 2

It's just that all the information on programming microcontrollers, mainly on c / c ++
Java card, I heard about this :)

Answer 3

In robotics on microcontrollers and everything that has a small RAM - no, no :))) But if you have a regular computer in your robot with a good process, RAM and other standard buns for a hospital, only in the robot body, then no problem. Java is as heavy as a behemoth. And in robots they always save on everything - otherwise it is expensive or energy consumption increases greatly.

Answer 4

Can. But it's better not to do that.
If the robot is more complicated than the children's designer, then it usually uses two stages of control. The "lower" level is the level of power controllers, and the "upper" level is a relatively high-performance computing device used to calculate the trajectory, make decisions in a difficult situation, etc.
At the "lower" level, microcontrollers with the ARM, AVR, MSP430 and others. They must process information in real time, they have little memory and computing resources. To write their software, they usually use C, sometimes C ++.
At the "upper" level, computing devices with high performance are used: industrial computers, microcomputers such as Raspberry Pi or just a PC. When writing software for them, you can use Java.
