A Hybrid Editor for Fast Robot Mission Prototyping

We present an editor that creates an interactive live preview for simple robot missions. The preview provides instant feedback and the statements in the script can be adapted through direct manipulation of the visualization. While the program is executed to draw the preview, it decorates each value with location information and the expression that produced it. If a value is changed in the visualization, the change can be traced back to the source to produce the desired result. An application prototype demonstrates that our approach produces sensible and generalizing results even in the presence of control flow structures in our DSL.
