In recent years, Microsoft's investment in the robot research is becoming more and more attention, this spring the gates at Tsinghua University lecture content is further proof that Microsoft Robotics Institute betting interest and enthusiasm.
As early as the beginning of the year, gates in the scientific journal of the United States "published an article on a five page article" let the robot into the millions (Arobot in Every Home), in his article he prophesied that the robot will become the next hot spot in the information age. Last week, Microsoft Robotics General Manager Mr. to Microsoft Access TandyTrower, give the employees a field study on Microsoft robot up-to-date results of talks to many have never come across this field researcher inspired by a lot of thinking.
Said Tandy Trower, previous to read our blog the gates on the future of the robot may not be familiar to readers, he is the gates in the Tsinghua University speech mentioned once wrote a long robot investment report, finalized by Gates immediately answered.
At present, leads a TandyTrower 12 people in the team developing a robot. He has been working at Microsoft in 26 years, long-term commitment to develop for Microsoft and the invention of wealth to the innovative new products. In Microsoft's human-computer interaction research, TandyTrower have user interface research and development investment, the establishment of the first laboratories throughout the company, as well as the design of new products make a significant contribution. And now, he is to focus on the leadership team to design and develop the robot industry can meet the needs of most users use of the software platform and application tools. In September 2006, the authority of the United States the robot () magazine's cover story is about "Microsoft's robot" (MicrosoftRobotics), cover picture was a form of TandyTrower 2335 different robots around as though they are eagerly looking forward to TandyTrower team can develop more advanced software to let them like human-like thinking and action.
Since Microsoft Robotics in December 2006, the first successful release 1.0 version development tool, in the majority of users of positive feedback and suggestions, they are based on the original has done very great improvement and advancement.
Thus, in April 2007, they announced version 1.5 Toolkit series, provides students, robot enthusiasts, professional researchers and engineers provides development executable software tools. (More information on-line to download, visit the Research Centre website).
In his speech, even TandyTrower revealed on Microsoft Robotics development full of optimism and hopes, because his behind gates and Craig mundie, Creek · · Crest, Microsoft senior leaders ' support and concern, in particular, he also leads a group of true love robot elite team, they are in a very short time period the achievements made him deeply gratified.
In a speech last, TandyTrower pointed out that the robot development is a very complex system engineering, Microsoft needs to do is to robot hardware plug in software wings to stimulate more fans use consistent and efficient system platform to create dream robot, this is Bill Gates in his article that to Microsoft for the next era of the robot can contribute.
