Explore the intersection of functional programming and robotics in this 43-minute conference talk that examines why robotics development lags behind modern functional programming concepts despite robots being distributed systems. Discover the current state of functional languages in robotics development and learn about the challenges that prevent wider adoption of advanced programming paradigms in this field. Gain insights into the ROSiE (ROS integrating Erlang) project, which aims to bridge the gap between functional programming and robotics by integrating Erlang with the Robot Operating System. Understand how robots, as instances of distributed systems, could benefit from the robust concepts developed in functional programming and distributed systems research, and explore the potential for bringing state-of-the-art programming approaches to robotics development.
