Programming Microsoft® Robotics Studio

Creating a Simulation from a Service

In addition to creating a simulation scene using VSE, you can create a scene programmatically using Visual Studio. This chapter will not go into great detail about how to do this because the simulation tutorials included with MSRS cover this subject very well. Instead, the chapter will review the basics needed to create a simulation programmatically.

To do this, you will create a new DSS service using the template provided with MSRS. After you create the project, you will need to add references to the following assemblies:

• PhysicsEngine. Contains methods and properties used to access the underlying AGEIA software physics engine.

• RoboticsCommon. Contains the PhysicalModel namespace, which includes type definitions ...
