Real Life Programmable Electronics?

[DirtyKeyboard]

I’m learning java and I want to program some actual real life objects, maybe line a robot, or like in Minecraft there is a mod for programmable turtles, is there anything like that I can buy? For java

Java isn't really a good "robot programming" language. 

You're going to want to learn C or C++ for that. (Then just buy yourself an arduino.)

An alternative could be the raspberry pi presuming you can do java on it. Otherwise if you have an Android, Android studio lets you make apps for free

if you consider arduino robots i agree but not industrial robots. Those can be controlled with any language. A vast majority run using Gcode or similar language which is generated text. Most of these robot manufacturers provide .Net, Delphi or vb6 dll.

You shouldn't limit yourself to a single language. Find something you want to try first and see how it does things. A lot of those kits for hobbyist use likely won't use anything that complicated.

Offtopic: Jesus people.

 

On topic: There are so called "Lego Mindstorms" kits, specificially at uni we used the EV3 kit. You can flash LeJos onto those and build your robot with lego technic and regular lego
