Robotics Group and SDK Unveiled

The previously under-wraps Microsoft Robotics Group has released a free preview of the Microsoft Robotics Studio. The free SDK can write apps for robot platforms such as Mindstorms, Pioneer, and others. It’s not just a hobbyist platform; it's aimed at industrial robotics as well. Using the SDK, you can build distributed apps running on swarms of web-enabled robots that report back to a server handling most of the heavy computation. The possible applications make the figurative and literal gears start whirring.
