A Letter from Tandy Trower, General Manager, Microsoft Robotics Group

Tandy Trower

We are pleased to release Microsoft Robotics Studio (1.0).

Robotics has long been an area of technology that has captured the attention and expectations of many. We think robotics is poised to take off rapidly, and there are solid indications that this is true! With component hardware costs coming down and computational capabilities increasing, the robotics industry appears to have the right conditions to really grow quickly.

Despite these optimistic factors, the key applications that will propel the industry are yet to be fully formed even though there are a number of good prospects already being explored.
