Microsoft updates Windows for Robots
BetaNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft said Monday that it had released a improved version of its Robotics Studio platform, adding support for Windows Embedded CE 6.0 and Windows Mobile, as well as programming improvements. The Redmond company introduced its robotics platform in December of last year, while also announcing that it would support RoboCup 2007, a project that aims to build a team of humanoid robots that would be able to defeat the world champion soccer team by 2050.
As advertised, the company did participate this year, simulating soccer matches between humans and robots, as well as also creating a sumo simulation that was released to the public today.
