As opposed to conditional flag-centric code, a state machine diagram presents a very clear view of the design, and so provides a good example to students. As opposed to conditional flag-centric code, ...

Imagine a robot with an all-around bump sensor. The response to the bump sensor activating depends on the previous state of the robot. If it had been going forward, a bump will send it backwards and ...

How to turn graphical state-machine models into C, C++, C#, or Java code. Why using a tool like Visual State is better than building a state machine in source code. Artificial intelligence and machine ...

A recent EDN article dealt with a number of programming tips for embedded microcontrollers. One of those tips, using state machines, is a programming approach that is especially useful, yet probably ...

The interest in state machines started in the 1950s when George Moore and Edward Mealy published seminal papers on formal methods of designing digital circuits, which generate outputs based on the ...
