Overview

This tutorial explains how to use Eclipse Sirius to create a graphical modeling tool for a Mindstorms Robot.

This tool allows the user to graphically define a set of basic instructions (that we call a Choreography) that the Robot can execute: Go forward, Rotate, Grab an object, Release an object. A choreography can also be composed of other choreographies.
