If you really want to program a microcontroller using an object oriented language you might have to skip using the PICs all together. I know certain microcontrollers and DSPs do have the capability of being programed in C++.

I also believe that the object-oriented paradigm really doesn't fit into robotics very well - it's a very functional kind of work, where flow control is far more important than encapsulation and abstraction.

I have to disagree with you. Certain paradigms can get by with a functional abstraction while others are object oriented from the get go. It all depends on what you want the robot to do.
