Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio (MSRDS) is a Windows-based environment for developing robot applications. It integrates with Visual Studio and supports languages like C++, C#, and VB. MSRDS has four main components: the Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR) for handling sensors and actuators concurrently, Decentralized Software Services (DSS) for accessing robot state over a web browser, a Visual Programming Language (VPL) using drag-and-drop blocks, and a Visual Simulation Environment (VSE) for testing applications without hardware. MSRDS aims to make robotics development accessible for students, hobbyists, and commercial developers.

- 1. Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio MD.KAMAL AZHAR 3rd YEAR CSE PRIST UNIVERSITY azhar_571@hotmail.com
- 2. CONTENT • History • MSRDS • Its Components • Demo • Installation
- 3. A computer in every home • Bill Gates:1980
- 4. “A robot in every home…”
- 5. Microsoft Robotics Studio Released Summer 2006
- 6. A Simple Robotics Components Sensor Orchestrator Actuator
- 7. More Complex Robotics App Orchestrator Ultrasonic Camera Flame Detector Motor Pan/Tilt Servo MessageBox
- 8. About MSRDS. • Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio (Microsoft RDS, MRDS) is a Windows- based environment for robot apps. • Interact with robots using Windows or Web-based interfaces. • Integrates with Visual Studio – All Visual Studio versions. • Tested and supported to work on C++, C#, VB, Javascript, IronPython – But any .NET language should work, including F#, Scheme, Smalltalk, etc.
- 9. MSRDS is For.. – It is aimed at academic – commercial developers – hobbyist – Novice
- 10. How Does it Work? HTTP
- 11. Its Main Components • 4 main components – CCR (Concurrency and Coordination Runtime) – DSS (Decentralized Software Services) – VPL (Visual Programming Language) – VSE (Visual Simulation Environment)
- 12. CCR Concurrency and Coordination Runtime – Handling of sensory input and controlling actuators must be dealt with concurrently as otherwise actuators can get starved and sensors ignored. Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR) is a managed code library, a Dynamically Linked Library (DLL).
- 13. CCR… • The Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR), makes it simple to write programs to handle asynchronous input from multiple robotics sensors and output to motors and actuators.
- 14. DSS Decentralized Software Services • Makes it simple to access, and to respond to a robot’s state, using a Web-browser or Windows-based application. • It Orchestrate-Different services to combine to do big services.
- 15. DSS… – Makes state observable, easily accessible – Provides for reusability – Supports remote/distributed execution – Makes the programming model scalable
- 17. VPL Visual Programming Language • Visual programming environment • Simple programming with drag and drop • Application are diagrams – Blocks – Connections • Integrated into Microsoft Robotics Studio
- 18. DRAG AND DROP…
- 19. Visual Programming Tool – Dataflow editing • Simple connections • Building blocks • Model checking – Dashboards – Need of c#.... – Novice to expert
- 21. Why a Simulator? Robotics hardware is expensive • Hardware can be difficult to debug • Hard for a team to work concurrently with limited hardware • Useful for education • Good learning and research tool
- 22. Visual Simulation Environment • Provides real-world view for robot models in virtual world. • High-fidelity. • High Graphics.
- 23. Simulation visualization tool – High resolution 3D rendering • Visual and physics views – High performance physics engine • PhysX™ supplied by Ageia Technology – Makes technology accessible – Enables fast debugging
- 24. Demo…
- 25. Installation. • Install Microsoft Visual Studio http://www.microsoft.com/net MSRDS • Downloading Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio (MSRDS) • Installing Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio • Installing SPLX Launcher Setup • Installing SPL Installation Pack
- 26. Download MSRDS • Connect to http://www.helloapps.com/download/ follow step-by-step guide
- 28. Summary Microsoft Robotics Studio • A new application development platform for the robotics community, designed for a wide variety of users, hardware, and scenarios • Designed to address some of the common challenges facing those developing robot applications – Concurrency and distribution – Scalability – Code reuse and reliability
- 29. survey We are all grand masters at …putting things on top of other things,….assembly etc. • This makes the programming more difficult, not less.
