We used Ada 83, targeting bare Intel 386 in a Multibus. I was VERY glad we were using Ada; it gave precise control over low-level bits, and at the same time enforced high-level interfaces. JPL did some Ada robotics, but then they switched to C++ and TCL/TKL. You can see some of my Ada code for Robotics from my web page: http://www710.gsfc.nasa.gov/~sal714/homepage.html -- - Stephe
