The Microsoft Robotics Studio is a Windows-based environment for robot control and simulation. It is aimed at academic, hobbyist, and commercial developers and handles a wide variety of robot hardware.
Features include: a visual programming tool, Microsoft Visual Programming Language, for creating and debugging robot applications, web-based and windows-based interfaces, 3D simulation (including hardware acceleration), a lightweight services-oriented runtime, easy access to a robot's sensors and actuators via a .NET-based concurrent library implementation, and support for a number of languages including C# and Visual Basic .NET, JScript, and IronPython.
Microsoft Robotic Studio includes support for packages to add other services to the suite. Those currently available include Soccer Simulation and Sumo Competition by Microsoft, and a community-developed Maze Simulator, a program to create worlds with walls that can be explored by a virtual robot.
The studio ships with a simulator that uses PhysX by ageia.
