MS Robotics -- 1(simulation basics)

As I am passionate towards robotics and have worked on speech recognition and natural language processing,I wanted to work on "Robotics" ( related to software), I mean controlling the Robot hardware from software! Searched on internet and found this cool software known as Microsoft Robotics, started working on Microsoft Robotics Studio last month, finally read some MSDN documentation and as I don't have Robot Hardware thought of trying out the simulation, its real fun controlling the robot in simulation so Just wanted to share with you , on 'How to Simulate I-Robot Create using Visual Programming Language', Before watching the video make sure you download the Microsoft Robotics Studio v1.5. Install it on your computer and then just see the video! Feel totally free to leave comments/queries.

• Run Visual Programming Language
• Start>New Project>Filename.mvpl
  
• Feel free to look around the IDE
• See the video

Click to download the videoGraphics rendering is done using AGEIA Physx technology. In order to get full graphics experience, your computer should support pixel shader 2.0 or higher, Asap I will be uploading a video on "how to control a i-robot from your PC using C#(.net)" so keep in touch with my blog :-)

One more thing, If you already have a robot and you want to use MSRS to interact with it then download Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008 CTP and read the manuals and hmmmmm.... Well I am still working on it, will write about it as soon as I am finished with it.

For some background theory on MSRS have look at my ppt!
