The rise of javascript robotics

on YouTube ↗08m

" summary

Argues JavaScript fits robotics because its asynchronous event model matches sensors and actuators; uses Arduino with Firmata over serial/USB or Bluetooth, and runs Node.js on Raspberry Pi Zero or Intel Edison; shows the actual code — an LED blink reused across hardware — and assembles a two-wheel robot driven by keyboard that then gains ultrasonic proximity, line follower, compass, accelerometer and GPS modules and demonstrably works in live demos and a follow-up workshop.
