A Native Transterpreter for the LEGO Mindstorms RCX

Authors: Simpson, Jonathan, Jacobsen, Christian L., Jadud, Matthew C.

Abstract:

The LEGO Mindstorms RCX is a widely deployed educational robotics platform. This paper presents a concurrent operating environment for the Mindstorms RCX, implemented natively using occam-pi running on the Transterpreter virtual machine. A concurrent hardware abstraction layer aids both the developer of the operating system and facilitates the provision of process-oriented interfaces to the underlying hardware for students and hobbyists interested in small robotics platforms.
