Abstract :
We describe our experiences in applying visual programming to simple robot control. Three different approaches are discussed: using a visual procedural programming approach; a visual, object oriented approach (both of these using a general purpose visual programming language); and finally a special purpose visual programming language based on subsumption architecture
