Microsoft Robotics Group has released the first commercial release of Microsoft Robotics Studio. This version can be downloaded from this link.

For those of you who don't know what Robotics Studio is, let me quote Microsoft: The Microsoft Robotics Studio is a Windows-based environment for academic, hobbyist and commercial developers to easily create robotics applications across a wide variety of hardware. Key features and benefits of the Microsoft Robotics Studio environment include: end-to-end Robotics Development Platform , lightweight services-oriented runtime, and a scalable and extensible platform.  

For more information, please see the Microsoft press release:

Microsoft Robotics Studio Now Available to Provide Common Development Platform
More than 30 vendors offer support for creating broad range of innovative robotics applications
REDMOND, Wash. — Dec. 12, 2006

The list of changes since the November CTP version is as follows:

Security Support

Security is now fully implemented and turned on by default. It is fully functional for HTTP and TCP transports.

Simulation Scenario Editing

We have added an interface for editing entities and creating scenarios scenes (configurations) directly from the Visual Simulation Environment. Now you can easily select, reposition, rotate, or add entities.

More Documentation and Tutorials

We’ve revised and added more documentation. We've also added some new tutorials, including tutorial demonstrating a fully distributed application and a Visual Programming Language tutorial that demonstrates how to use it to program simulated robots.

Visual Programming Language Configuration of Services

You can now configure the services you use in VPL directly or by using another service. This is in addition to using manifests. VPL now enables you to compile your project and any related, user-defined activities as services. This means you can create your own add-on services for use with VPL or other programming languages. An option even enables you to generate a C# project.

Services Improvements

We improved a lot of our sample services and their XSLTs.
