Abstract
In this chapter we present the application of the SKE methods, to support the design of control logic for basic mobile robots implemented with LEGO Mindstorms. This work addresses the second generation of the LEGO hardware, also known as the NXT. A dedicated programming solution based on the Prolog language is described. On top of it the HeaRT rule engine is integrated. This allows for the use of XTT for the control of NXT. Examples of such control cases are presented.
