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.)
