RESUMO

Recent advances in the technology of mobile robots have developed for a new type of robotic system which is named personal robot. These robots are able to realize domestic daily tasks, interact and help people with special cares. In order to perform such tasks, interaction and programming measurements between the robot and the human being are necessary. This interface is discussed in several research that put in evidence the necessity of a development environment for applications or manipulation for the personal robots has a friendly interface. In this way, the present work contributes to this new research field with the proposal of an environment for robots applications development (framework), with high abstraction level with tasks blocks, designed for both experienced programmers and non experienced users. To make possible the interface between the two kinds of users, the environment provides an advanced programming module and a specific one for beginners. The advanced module allows the creation of new applications or tasks for the robotic system using a high abstraction level considering the robot programming. On the other hand, the module for beginners uses tasks blocks with a friendly interface. Based in an intermediate module, named Middleware, which ma nagement the whole data of environment programming language and provides an output to the robotic system or to the robot simulator, the environment becomes able to support several robotic systems. The proposal of the environment was validate using the simulator Player/Stage with Khepera´s system.
