Microsoft today released the first community technology preview of Robotics Developer Studio 2008 at the RoboBusiness conference in Pittsburgh. The product is the third version of the robotics programming platform, which previously had been called the Microsoft Robotics Studio.
Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008 significantly improves runtime performance, from 150 percent to 300 percent, according to Microsoft General Manager of the Robotics Group Tandy Trower. "It's not the monolithic, single-threaded model that people have normally used for robots. Instead this is a more asynchronous, distributed approach to programming," Trower said.
