Lab Meeting 15 October (Der-Yeuan): Introduction to Robotics Programming with Microsoft Robotics Studio

Abstract:

Microsoft Robotics Studio (MSRS) is a Windows-based IDE for robotics programming. Its primary components are the Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR) and the Decentralized System Services (DSS). The CCR emphasizes in scheduling the tasks to manage concurrency and load-balancing for different applications. The DSS is a service-oriented approach to robot component integration where every software or hardware component of a design is a service. Such web-based architecture allows services within a network to interact. Given the experience of MSRS with LEGO NXT bricks, this presentation will provide a brief introduction to CCR and DSS, and give some insight on the maturity of MSRS.
