Summary

  • The simulation service included with MSRS allows you to create computer simulations that involve simple or complex objects. These simulations can be very useful when multiple people need to experiment with expensive robots or there is a need to prototype a new robotics hardware design.

  • The VSE allows programmers to build simulations easily by adding new entities using one of the entity types provided with MSRS. Entities can be simple, such as spheres, boxes, and capsules, or they can be complex, such as robotics hardware.

  • To use VSE, you will need a graphics card that is compatible with DirectX 9 and supports the following pixel and vertex shader versions: PS_2_0 and VS_2_0 or higher.

  • MSRS includes several simulations that demonstrate the ...
