You can build Robots with Erlang!
The Encyclopedia Galactica defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as âYour Plastic Pal Whoâs Fun to Be With.â
Ok, maybe not that kind of robots, but it Is true that robots often involve several concurrent tasks, including operating machinery, ensuring safety of people in the area, monitoring sensors. Erlang provides a very good way to manage that.
WE talk about what is and is not a robot along with what robots can and canât do. Fred Wishes for a robot to plow his driveway when its 40bellow in Quebec
