眾所週知修改軟體要比修改硬體來的容易是。在此情境下，機器人自然成為自動化工程演進過程中所產生的必然結果，因為它可以經由軟體而非硬體的方式來重新規劃其任務。為了加強機器人教育，我們引進Robix Rascal器人到我們的實驗室。Robix機器人提供一般目的程式語言為機器人語言，如C++、Java，以致於它們可以被完美地融入既有的課程中如控制實驗及電腦程式。在本文，我們會介紹其發展環境，探討Java程式，並列舉其應用實例。

It is commonly recognized that software is easier to be modified than hardware. Under such circumstances, the robots are a natural consequence of the revolution in automation engineering because they can be reconfigured for different assignments through software rather than hardware. In order to enrich the robotic education, we introduced the Robix Rascal robots into our laboratory. The Robix robots provide the general purpose languages, i.e. C++ and Java, as the robot languages so that they can be seamlessly integrated into our existed courses like control laboratory or computer programming. In this paper, we would introduce its development environment, discuss Java programming and illustrate its applications.
