Simulation Engine (October 2006 CTP) - 2006/11/02 06:58
For those of you who don't know what Robotics Studio is, you can see this link about the October 2006 CTP:

200.html
For the time being I am mostly interested in the MSRS (MSFT Robotics Studio) simulation engine, as I need to test and debug quickly the machine consciousness algorithms before going to a real physical robot. I started using the MSRS October 2006 CTP (Community Technical Preview), and apart from the known bugs it goes smooth in a mid-range PC with an ATI Radeon graphics card. I am using Visual Studio and C# to create the virtual worlds and code very basic robot behaviors.
Not all the simulation tutorials included in the October 2006 CTP are running ok. Textured objects are not rendered properly, and can only be seen in the physics mode (F2). One possible solution to this obj loading problem is to set the regional settings in Windows XP to English (US), as there is a bug in MSRS that do not take into account other regionalizations. By the way, the debug text (F1) in the simulation window has been removed in the October 2006 CTP.
I am now trying to integrate my existing JAVA code (robot controllers) into MSRS simulation. I guess that being a service oriented architecture I could decouple the controllers as remote services… Suggestions are welcome!
