I guess it would depend what kind of CPU or microcontroller you decide to use. I heard that Prolog is great for artificial intelligence and we had to learn it in a paradigms class; however, I still preferred using an imperative or OO language like C/C++. The first robot we had to build we used the BASIC Stamp microcontroller which has a BASIC interpreter built into the ROM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC_Stamp. This was easy to use, since we could control the servos, bumper sensors, and sonar sensors using the BASIC programming language. If you use a more complex microcontroller like ColdFire from Freescale, the IDE supports C and assembly language.
So basically I would say it depends on what kind of hardware you use.

C or Assembly language, depending on the complexity of the robot.

You can use C++ and assemble to program processors to control a robot. However, if you need more complicated control, you need to write your own Virtual Machine. Then, you need Java.

I don't know what it's all about (I came across it when I was looking for something else), but maybe this is interesting to you?
