Microsoft Robotics Studio v1.5

Microsoft® Robotics Studio is a Windows-based environment for hobbyist, academic and commercial developers to create
robotics applications for a variety of hardware platforms. The Microsoft Robotics Studio includes a lightweight
REST-style, service-oriented runtime, a set of visual authoring and simulation tools, as well as tutorials and
sample code to help you get started.
-The Microsoft Robotics Studio enables developers to create services for a wide-variety of robot hardware.
-Non-programmers can create robot applications using a visual programming environment 
-Simulate robotics applications in 3D physics-based virtual environments
-Interact with robots using Windows or Web-based interfaces
-Microsoft Robotics Studio includes a .NET-based REST-style, services-oriented runtime.
-Makes Asynchronous Programming Simple
-Real-time Monitoring of Robotics Sensors and Response to Motors and Actuators
-Reuse Modular Services Using a Composable model
-Easily extend Microsoft Robotics Studio Functionality
-Supports both remotely connected (PC-based) and robot-based (autonomous) application scenarios
-Develop using a wide range of programming languages
 With Microsoft Robotics Studio, robotics applications can be developed using a selection of programming languages, 
 including those in Microsoft Visual Studio® and Microsoft Visual Studio Express (C# and VB.NET), as well as 
 scripting languages such as Microsoft Iron Python. Third-party languages that support the Microsoft Robotics Studio 
 services-based architecture are also supported.
