            Abstract : 
The author describes the Robot Schema Programming language (RSPL), a concurrent, object-oriented, real-time language designed for sensory-based robotics. The language is based on a formal model of computation originally developed by D. Lyons and M.A. Arbib (1989) but extended to accommodate real-time requirements. The major features of the RSPL are highlighted. The schema definition and the system function calls are examined
