Understanding how to use services is a key to the Decentralized Software Services programming model. This tutorial starts off with how to access a service for a simple sensor.

Robotics Tutorial 2 - Coordinating Services

This tutorial builds on the previous tutorial and shows you how to use the input from a simple sensor and use it to control a motor service.

Robotics Tutorial 3 – Using Abstract Reusable Services

This tutorial describes of a generic drive and contact service that you can apply across a variety of hardware platform and includes a simple wanderer service.
