* RDS 3D simulation environment allows simulating the behavior of robots in a virtual world using NVIDIA PhysX technology (3D engine originally written by Ageia) that includes advanced physics.
* There are several simulation environments in RDS. These environments were developed by [[SimplySim]]

* In 2008 [[Microsoft]] launched a simulated [[robotics]] competition named [[RoboChamps]] using MRDS, four challenges were available: maze, sumo, urban, and Mars rover. the simulated environment and robots used by the competition were created by [[SimplySim]] and the competition was sponsored by [[Kia]] Motors

==Microsoft Robotics and the
Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio has not been updated or patched since version 4.0, which was released on March 8, 2012.
On September 22, 2014, as part of Microsoft's [[restructuring]] plan, the Robotics division of Microsoft Research was suspended, according to a tweet from Ashley Feniello, a principal developer at Microsoft Robotics division of Microsoft Research (MSR). It is now highly unlikely that MRDS will ever be updated again, however forum members (MVPs) may still offer limited support.<ref>{{cite news |last=Feniello |first=Ashley |date=20 September 2014 |title=Sadly, the Microsoft robotics team has been shut down.
