From LINQ to SilverLight – Watch videos and hear about all the cool technologies coming and the people behind them. http://channel9.msdn.com/Tags/microsoft+robotics en Tue, 21 May 2013 16:16:32 GMT Tue, 21 May 2013 16:16:32 GMT Rev9 7 1 25 Hanselminutes on 9 - The Eddie Robotics Platform with Kinect I was at CodeMash in Ohio last week and saw this robot moving around the conference floor. I was lucky to get a nice demo and play with "Eddie" for a bit. You can even buy an Eddie of your own. There's lots of great information on Eddie and his coming out party at MakerFaire last year on the web. The platform is a very interesting and open one. Now, how do I convince the wife that this is a good idea?

Eddie was programmed by Lwin Maung and Min Maung. Our blogs can be found at www.maungs.com.
Eddie is created by Parallax (www.parallax.com/eddie) and programmed using Microsoft Visual Programming Language and Robotic Studio (www.microsoft.com/robotics).

Lwin Maung: Lwin is a mobile developer and an expert on mechatronics. His mobile applications have been featured on technology sites such as engadget, gizmodo, and pocket now. He has also designed and created programmable microcontrollers and robots for educational use from the ground up. When he is not cranking out code, you can find him teaching or speaking to development community on mechatronics, mobile and application development.

Min Maung: In his "spare" time, Min is a skilled cross-platform mobile developer, aggressive hackathon competitor and technical speaker and when he is not coding, he is building robots. Monday thru Friday, you can find Min at a leading, privately-held payroll and HR software solutions company cranking out .net code and writing apps in ASP.Net, Silverlight, and other .net solutions.

Microsoft Robotics combines a number of components to make up a robotics system including Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR), Decentralized Software Services (DSS), Visual Programming Language (VPL) and a Visual Simulation Environment (VSE).

If your robotic interests go beyond creating hobbyist robots and onto .NET based robotics then spend a few moments to get an update from Trevor and also learn how a group of students from the University Of Michigan worked with Ford and Microsoft Robotics to add a custom application platform to the car and build the next generation of in car applications.

You can find additional code samples at http://mrdssamples.codeplex.com/

Finally did I mention that Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio is now free? - you can download it here
