C is not a low level language

I think human-created assembler is becoming rare. However, I have the
impression that robotics requires machine-coded assembler, translated
from whatever human-readable language was used to program the machine.

That's true of compiled languages in general, and is not specific to
robotics.

Most compiled languages are translated to assembly language
(or directly to machine language, depending on how the compiler
is designed). (Some, such as Java, are compiled to some kind of
byte code which is then interpreted, but Java can also be compiled
to assembly or machine code.)

cross-posted newsgroups that seems appropriate.]
