Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio is a .NET-based programming environment for building robotics applications. This platform is accessible to a wide array of users, ranging from professional and non-professional developers to hobbyists.
Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio enables hobbyists and professional or non-professional developers to create robotics applications targeting a wide range of scenarios.
Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio can support a broad set of robotics platforms by either running directly on the platform (if it has an embedded PC running Windows) or controlling the robot from a Windows PC through a communication channel such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
The powerful Visual Simulation Environment (VSE) provides a high-fidelity simulation environment powered by NVIDIA PhysX engine for running game-quality 3D simulations with real-world physics interactions.
To help developers getting started, Robotics Developer Studio contains extensive Documentation and a large set of samples and tutorials that illustrate how to write applications ranging from simple "Hello Robot" to complex applications that simultaneously run on multiple robots.
