Added 2006-06-24Updated 2007-07-23

Windows-based environment to create robotics applications across a variety of hardware.

The Microsoft Robotics Studio delivers three areas of software:
- A services-oriented extensible runtime architecture that can span a variety of hardware and devices. The programming interface can be used to address robots using 8-bit or 16-bit processors as well as 32-bit systems with multi-core processors and devices from simple touch sensors to laser distance finding devices. The runtime uses a .NET-based concurrency libraryfor asynchronous application development.
- A set of tools that make programming and debugging robot applications scenarios easier. These include a visual simulation environment that uses the Ageia Technologies PhysX engine.
- A set of technology libraries services samples to help developers get started with writing robot applications.

Third parties can extend the functionality of the platform by providing additional libraries and services. Both remote (PC-based) and autonomous (robot-based) execution scenarios can be developed using a selection of programming languages, including C# VB.NET, JScript, IronPython, and third-party languages that conform to its services-based architecture.

Built for .NET 2
