Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio (MRDS) offers an exciting new wayto program robots in the Windows environment. For Introduction to Microsoft Robotics Studio version 1.5. A common question with our While we continue to develop our simulated environment the big news of course is that we have now launched a relatively low cost PC based Robot as well as Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 4 Beta at Maker Faire in New York. About ten days ago (on December 12th) Microsoft released it's Microsoft Robotics Studio (which is free for non-commercial use and $400 USD for commercial). Over the last few years Microsoft has developed a Robotics platform that could target a number of robots starting with everything from hobbyist grade robots up to industrial robots. After working with both, I feel that ROS is more intuitive and simpler. What's really neat is Now you can more quickly and effectively simulate spatial environments, manage your robotics services and develop solutions using the Microsoft .NET Framework. If you are a .NET Developer and want to learn how to program Robots in your spare time, then you are going to like this offering. Written by: Billy McCafferty on I think that MRDS and ROS are both very solid robotic development env'ts. With RDS 4 simulation tools, you don't need physical hardware to develop a Kinect-based robot! Ease of learning was achieved through a detailed investigation of the natural gestures expressed by users while instructing robots to perform navigation and tasks. Eddie is a new type of robot from Parallax Inc. Designed to foster creativity, innovation and experimentation. Some researchers over at the University of Massachusetts recently came up with an interesting method of controlling robots. In a step in this direction, Microsoft has released Microsoft 2008 Robotics Developer Studio (RDS), making it available completely free of charge with all of the bells and whistles provided with the previous standard edition. The labs take you through common robotics concepts such as reading sensors, controlling actuators, designing simple behaviors, and having a robot interacting with its environment using Microsoft Robotics Studio. We've talked about the Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio in the past, Kinecting with Robots - Kinect Services for the Microsoft Robotic Development Studio, showing how some Kinect functionality can. It's inspiring to see the tremendous excitement with Microsoft Kinect within the robotics space signaling the energy and potential opportunities that exist in essentially transforming robots to low-cost mainstream consumer devices. This beta release Our motivation in releasing these tools is to extend and democratize access to robotics development, bringing value to the space through ease-of-use, accessibility, and a robust existing developer community.
