基于块的编程方法是让年轻学习者参与编程和强大的计算思想的有效方法。在本文中，我们探讨了在一个非常不同的编程环境中使用相同方法的潜力：工业机器人。使用Blockly库构建的定制语言，我们创建了一个基于块的界面，用于对单臂工业机器人进行编程。本文提出了一种基于块的机器人编程语言，称为机器人Blockly，重点是如何利用基于块的编程的各种启示，使机器人编程的挑战更容易。我们还提出了一个小规模的研究结果，显示成年人没有事先编程经验成功地编程虚拟机器人完成拾取和放置任务。这项工作的贡献在于展示了基于块的编程在年轻学习者和教室之外的潜力。
The block-based approach to programming is an effective way to engage young learners in programming and the powerful ideas of computing. In this paper, we explore the potential of using this same approach in a very different programming context: industrial robotics. Using a customized language built with the Blockly library, we created a block-based interface for programming a one-armed industrial robot. This paper presents a block-based robot programming language called Robot Blockly, focusing on how the various affordances of block-based programming were utilized to make the challenge of robot programming more accessible. We also present results from a small-scale study showing adults with no prior programming experience successfully programming a virtual robot to accomplish a pick and place task. The contribution of this work is in showing the potential for block-based programming beyond young learners and classrooms.
