In this paper, we introduce a structure of a software platform in which robots and multimedia can be programmed together to make a new type of convergent contents. To encourage people's participation who are not familiar with programming languages, and to allow them to focus on creating new ideas, we employ a two-stage based programming scheme. At the high-level description stage, users can assign the interactions among physical robots and multimedia characters with very intuitive user interfaces, whereas in the low-level description stage, very detailed events and behaviors of each object can be programmed with elementary building blocks.
