Recent developments for a robotics programming language include Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio (MRDS), a Windows-based environment for robot control and simulation.
FORBES: Reflections on Personal Robots, Backwards and Forwards
Although Mars can be explored by unmanned craft, there is only so much that can be achieved with robot eyes and remote control.
Aside from mechanical challenges, what was missing that may have spurred personal robotics development was a dedicated programming language specifically for robot control and communication.

Ava, an app ready robot, uses tablet-based control and autonomous navigation to maneuver in complex real world environments.
The control programs have been used to create control systems for a bipedal robot and a visual recognition system for a robot that works even when the machine is distracted by flashing lights and shadows.
The small robot can even turn appliances on and off via remote control, switching on the dishwasher or the VCR.
Cameras tracked their movements and were used to control a rat-sized robot that shared a cage with the rodent subjects.
He adds that Anybots had no control over our Wi-Fi coverage and that the robot isn't designed to go into elevators.
The project integrates a mobile assistive robot (Hector) that can work collaboratively with a smart home and remote control center to better support older people living at home.
The first of those took place last July, when Abderrahmane Kheddar, director of the CNRS-AIST joint robotics laboratory at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Tsukuba, Japan, and his team used FMRI to allow someone to control a robot located thousands of miles away using only their thoughts.
The brain cells have been taught how to control the robot's movements so it can steer round obstacles and the next step, say its creators, is to get it to recognise its surroundings.
The Carnegie Mellon team have gone for the latter and have created a sophisticated computer program that enables just one person to control the robot.
