Microsoft Robotics Studio CTP Now Available

The world for hobbyist and enthusiast developers just got a little more interesting today with the announcement that Microsoft's getting into robotics. Robotics Studio is a development tool designed to provide a uniform and consistent way to program robots including a visual design surface to model robotics programming whether your need is for work, (like Kuka's industrial robots) or for fun (like the Lego NXT). The programming model uses the concurrency and coordination runtime (CCR) and you can program robots in VB, C#, C++, or even browser JavaScript.
