Title
Teaching Erlang using robotics and player/stage
Abstract
Computer science is often associated with dull code debugging instead of solving interesting problems. This fact causes a decrease in the number of computer science students which can be stopped by giving lectures on an interesting context like robotics. In this paper we introduce an easily deployable and extensible library which allows programming a popular robot simulator in Erlang. New possibilities for visual, simple and attractive teaching of functional languages are open.
