The company recently announced its community technology preview of its Robotics Studio development platform, which may be freely obtained from Microsoft.
The Mindstorms robotics toolset will also benefit from Microsoft's newest developer platform. "In combination with Microsoft Robotics Studio, PC users will have a sophisticated tool that will further extend the powerful NXT hardware and software to an even wider range of developers who wish to create advanced applications for their Lego robots," Sren Lund, director of Lego Mindstorms at the LEGO Group, said in a statement.
Developers will be able to use a variety of programming languages with the new platform. Microsoft of course noted how those in its Visual Studio and Visual Studio Express, like Visual C#, can be used to craft remote and autonomous execution scenarios.
(Am I the only one who reads the words "robots" and "execution scenarios" and gets a little bit concerned about the future? All of you robotic developers have read "
