For robotics, you should look into Pic or OOPic. These are the small integrated circuits that often control robots, and they have their own programming language - PicBasic. I've seen the language and it looks reminicsient of very early basic languages (like GW Basic). Knowing how to program these would be an excelent start into programming robots. There are a number of programs you can use with Linux to aide PIC software development, and there are a few books you can pick up on the topic as well.
