Abstract
The design and implementation of the FORTH-83 Standard system for the MotionMate robotic controller are discussed. The system consists of a remote workstation communicating with an embedded robot controller. The remote workstation provides an F83 (personal computer version of FORTH-83 Standard) and communicates using serial protocol with the robot controller. A brief introduction to the FORTH language is given along with the design objectives and major design decisions of the project. The obstacles encountered throughout the design of the FORTH system are explained
