My college student grandson says he wants to study programming robots.
Aside from all the commercial (game?) kits are there serious Linux
applications that he should consider? If so, how best to get started?

Tom

Hello,

wow ! great for your grandson, and you for supporting him. What kind
of robot does he have ? A Lego Mindstorm ? Or does he want to build
his own robot ? For example those that follows light or a white line
...

Best regards,
Sergio

For me the question is also interesting.
I have Lego Mindstorms.
