Basic Robotics Tutorials for VPL Overview

The basic robotics tutorials help you getting started writing the very first service for your robot. The tutorials take you from getting input from a single sensor to control an actuator to being able to write a "drive-by-wire" application where you can move your robot around.

Understanding how to use services is a key to the Microsoft Robotics Studio programming model. This tutorial starts you off with how to access a service for a simple sensor.

• Robotics Tutorial 1 (VPL) - Accessing a Service

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

• Robotics Tutorial 2 (VPL) - Coordinating Services

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

• Robotics Tutorial 3 (VPL) - Creating Reusable Orchestration Services

This tutorial covers how to build a simple application to use a conventional Windows user interface to control a motor drive service.

• Robotics Tutorial 4 (VPL) - Drive-By-Wire
