What type of programming language is predominantly used in FANUC robotic systems?

The programming language predominantly used in FANUC robotic systems is Karel. Karel is a high-level programming language specifically designed for robotics and automation, providing a structured way to program robot movements, logic, and tasks. It is tailored for the unique needs of controlling robotic systems, allowing for efficient programming of complex operations through a command set that is intuitive for robot behavior.

Karel offers syntax and functions that make it suitable for creating programs that can handle the precise control required in manufacturing and automation environments. This makes it a go-to choice for applications involving FANUC robots, as it is well integrated into their control systems, ensuring compatibility and ease of use for programmers.

Other languages like Python and Java, while versatile and powerful in general programming, are not specifically designed for the specialized tasks involved in robotic control. Teach Pendant Language, on the other hand, is a term that refers to the graphical and command interfaces used on FANUC's teach pendants for manual programming and operation, rather than a formal programming language on its own. Therefore, Karel stands out as the primary, dedicated language for programming in FANUC systems.
