'''Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio''' (Microsoft RDS, '''MRDS''') ishas been discontinued. It was a [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]]-based environment for [[robot]] control and [[simulation]]. Itthat iswas aimed at academic, hobbyist, and commercial developers and handleshandled a wide variety of robot hardware. It requiresrequired the Microsoft [[Windows 7]] operating system or later.

The remainder of this article is from the original description.

RDS is based on CCR ([[Concurrency and Coordination Runtime]]): a [[.NET Framework|.NET]]-based concurrent library implementation for managing asynchronous parallel tasks. This technique involves using message-passing and a lightweight services-oriented runtime, DSS (Decentralized Software Services), which allows the orchestration of multiple services to achieve complex behaviors.
