Robotics and Sensors Using Erlang
summary
Claim: Erlang runs on bare metal to control robots and sensors using the GRiSP stack and a reduced BEAM/OTP runtime. The build uses an ARM Cortex‑M7 board with ~64 MB SDRAM, microSD boot, Pmods for sensors and motor drivers, static C drivers linked via rebar3 plugins, and Wi‑Fi (which cost a one‑year delay). A prototype fleet of about 50 nylon nodes and a wheeled robot demo that follows a person over Wi‑Fi demonstrate it actually works.
