FORTH CONTROLLED ROBOTS

Forth is a great  choice  for programming robots !   

A milestone of Forth history begins in 1970 with  Charles Moore  hired at the NRAO telescope .

He designed his own extensible language  which simplified  the control&automation of all telescope

observations  in a super efficient and revolutionary way. 

This new language called for attention of  a large list of observatories around the world, and from there Forth

was spread to the world . Soon other scientific branches ,complex machinery  & general concept of programming mini

and microcomputers wanted to adopt his concept and the story of success of Forth began !

So we can affirm that Forth  was born  from the start to be efficient  solution in real time control applications, 

it is self contained (its own OS  and it is vastly written in Forth), so is the perfect choice for embedding applications .  

For all these  reasons we Forth is  one of the best and more powerful options for robotics. 

Smart-cars, CNC machines,  sensor arrays data acquisition , and  all types of  high speed instruments  in  physics, astrophysics, chemistry,  but also education and hobby , may win a push by writing their OS & programs in Forth .

This  site as an appendix  or addendum to my principal Forth2020 , ForthWin , Win32forth and Esp32forth  sites.   

Forth and Robots are a special theme on its own , and here we will present specialist around the world and how

they solve applications in this field.
