I am working on Erlang robotic project. I have made a wallfollower robot program which has two files 1. a C program to communicate with hardware(I think we can not directly use Erlang for this) and 2. Erlang program to call these functions. I want to know where(platforms) I can run this robot.
Is it possible to run this robot over micro-controller (8051 or ARM7) based hardware?
Is it possible to convert Erlang program into C code or directly into .hex file?
You might want to have a look to this project:
http://erlang-embedded.com/
They presented it today at the Erlang Factory Conference in London.
Also, you might want to contact someone from the DMI (formerly DIIT) from Catania, Italy. They spent many years working on Erlang powered robots:

Hope this helps.
