Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 4 Released!
Microsoft Robotics has #-Link-Snipped-# that the Robotics Developer Studio (RDS) 4 has been released and it can be used commercially. Microsoft's Robotics arm aims to turn robots into economical mainstream consumer devices. Microsoft, already a global leader in software is investing in bridging the gap between the #-Link-Snipped-# technology and robotics. The RDS 4 makes it easier for the developers to build applications and simulate robots. The latest version of the robotics developer studio adds support for the Kinect sensor and totally eliminates the need of buying a separate hardware to make sure everything works together. That means, you can add Kinect functionality to your robot and simulate it before actually assembling your robot.
