At RoboBusiness 2006, Microsoft first entered the robotics market with the preview of Microsoft Robotics Studio, a platform and toolset designed to provide a common ground and catalyst for application development for wide variety of users and robot hardware. Released to the Web in December of that same year, Microsoft then followed with a new 1.5 release in July 2007 which included a number of new features and enhancements. With a user base of more than 200,000 users worldwide and over 50 supporting third party hardware and software vendors, Microsoft continues to improve its commitment to further address the growing needs of the emerging robotics community. Microsoft General Manager, Tandy Trower, will talk about what exciting new things are coming up.
