What does a robot program do?

A robotics program controls every aspect and behavior of a robot, which is written in various programming languages. Tasks such as below are handled by the program:

Initializing and configuring sensors
Obtaining data from sensors and processing this, to make sense of it such as object or obstacle recognition, self localization, mapping of surroundings.
Determining appropriate course of action
Issuing commands to actuators, motors etc…. to manipulate objects, navigate and so on.
Repeat these steps as necessary as in a loop.
Note that all of these can happen simultaneously in real time.
