I'm looking for some examples of robot/AI programming using lisp. Are there any good online examples available anywhere (preferably not too academic in nature)?

However, you will find that many critical sections of the robot operating system are written in Lisp. That's why it has also become a crucial language for the domain of artificial intelligence.
While it isn't as popular as C, Python or Perl, Lisp is still used for AI programming as well as several other functions. Lisp continues to be popular in higher education, as students learn Lisp programming tactics and extend this knowledge to the private sector after graduation.
Common Lisp is great for symbolic artificial intelligence because: it has very good implementations (e.g. SBCL, which compiles to machine code every expression given to the REPL)
The C/C++ language is one of the most widely used programming languages in robotics. The Arduino microcontroller uses a programming language based on C and is a great way to learn the basics of this important language whilst doing hands-on robotics.
XS Lisp on Lego Mindstorms: http://www.xslisp.com/ilc03.pdf There are multiple references online on Clojure and Lego Mindstorms dealing with a Clojure API for Lego Mindstorms. In fact Lisp (in some form) and Leog Mindstorms's seems not uncommon: here's a AAAI paper on Lisp and Mindstorms with some code with a decided AI education approach: "Lauching into AI's October Sky with Robotics and Lisp" : http://www.aaai.org/ojs/index.php/aimagazine/article/viewArticle/1863
A Robotics Society of Southern California intro to Lisp may have source/examples on other pages: http://rssc.org/content/introduction-lisp
Aside from something like Mindstorms almost all robotic systems are custom corporate and/or university projects so you are likely to have to see if any final project results have published source. There may also be university examples for robotics classes.
If you are looking for general AI programming then there are numerous references: Norvig's "Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp" is a good starting point.

This is supposed to be among the bestest books on both Common LISP and AI Programming. Use it wisely.
