I am interested in compiling a report on programming languages for
robotics and hardware control.  It seems as though many robotics
projects are more hardware oriented with assembly and C used to
implement various control paradigms.  Are there low level virtual
descriptions of hardware that can be used to develop robot 
independent high level control software?  Is any research being
done in this area?  I am not interested in super extensible
languages like forth, for obvious reasons of maintenance and
code readability :)

In summary:

   1) Is there any kind of standardization in the robotics
      community (industrial or academic) that allows for
      low level, platform independent programming.
      
   2) What is the language of choice for your own development
      projects?
      
My goal:

   Gain insight into this area as a topic of interest for
   possible research.

   
Many Thanks,

Charles C. Bundy IV
