Add Hardware Support for Robot Features

[PriyanshuRaut]

Currently, RRL provides a RobotSim object that allows testing of robot logic in a simulation environment. While this is great for learning and prototyping, it lacks real-world execution.

Proposed Feature:
Add hardware support for the robot object so that RRL code can control physical robots.

Potential Hardware Targets:

• Arduino (via serial communication / Firmata)
• Raspberry Pi (GPIO, I2C, SPI, PWM)
• ESP32 or other microcontrollers (for WiFi/IoT robotics)

Proposed Features:

• Extend RobotSim into a unified Robot API that can work with both simulation and hardware backends.
• Add methods like move_forward, turn, stop, read_sensor, etc. that map to real-world robot commands.
• Hardware abstraction layer (so code works the same across devices).

Why this is important:

• Moves RRL from a learning tool to a practical robotics programming language.
• Attracts hobbyists, educators, and researchers who want to test in simulation and deploy on real robots.
• Creates opportunities for integration with robotics kits and educational platforms.

Open for Discussion:

• Should we support a specific hardware first (e.g., Arduino) before expanding?
• Should hardware be loaded via plugins/modules instead of built into the core?
