Artoo

Artoo allows developers to control robots and various hardware devices via Ruby code.

This basically enables developers to drop the complex machine code and use Ruby instead.

Artoo not only works with Ruby, but also works with JRuby and Rubinius as well.

The Hybrid Group also provides a similar robotics framework for:
JavaScript (Cylon.js)
Go (Gobot)

Here's a video presentation of Artoo from the LA Ruby Conference 2013.
