Yes. Ada controlled Lego Mindstorms are being used in several academic
settings:
USAF Academy, contact [log in to unmask]
Defense Systems Management College, contact [log in to unmask]
Johns Hopkins APL (I plan to use with area high schools)
I would also like to mention that Ada->Lego Mindstorms is part of the "Fun
with Ada" lab at Ada Power's web site. The URL for the Fun with Ada lab is,
http://www.adapower.com/lab/adafun.html .
Controlling robots is one of the projects we are working on.
Others being model trains, cars, and games.
To discuss using Ada to control robots use

David Botton is the one who developed an Ada binding for LEGO Mindstorm's
