In many applications the performance of learned robot controllers drags behind those of the respective hand-coded ones. In our view, this situation is caused not mainly by deficiencies of the learning algorithms but rather by an insufficient embedding of learning in robot control programs. This paper presents a case study in which ROLL, a robot control language that allows for explicit represen...

47 courses at various faculties of the Open University in Israel and found that the majority (80%) of students contributed only a small amount (20%) of messages. But not only differences in the amount of contributions by students have been found.
