Shrdlite is a programming project in Artificial Intelligence, a course given at the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology. For more information, see the course webpages:

The goal of the project is to create an interpreter and a planner so that a person can control a robot in a blocks world to move around objects, by giving commands in natural language.

The inspiration is Shrdlu, by Terry Winograd in 1970:
