Experiment with Software Robots

By Nick Hodge | April 15, 2007

Would you like to exper­i­ment with robots?

Microsoft has released a tool called the Microsoft Robot­ics Stu­dio where you can visu­ally program.

Rather than typ­ing com­mands, you draw boxes and lines to rep­res­ent your robot. One day it would be cool to cre­ate a robot and send it into a vir­tual 3D world. It could be like an explorer, and return with a list of sights that it saw.

 How else could sim­u­lated robots be used?
