Abstract
This work shows the implementation of ntcc-lman [1], a framework for ntcc [2], a non deterministic timed concurrent constraint process calculus. This calculus provides a formal model in which concepts proper to robotic control can be conveniently represented. The ntcc-lman framework includes a ntcc based kernel language, a compiler, a constraint system, a formal abstract machine based on ntcc reduction rules and a virtual machine. We show how the framework can be used to program typical robotic tasks to control LEGO robots in real time using timedccp technology. To our knowledge, this is the first timedccp framework for programming robotic devices.
