The book begins with a brief overview of MRDS and then launches into MRDS concepts and takes a look at fundamental code patterns that can be used in MRDS programming. You′ll work through examples all in C# of common tasks, including an examination of the physics features of the MRDS simulator. As the chapters progress, so does the level of difficulty and you′ll gradually evolve from navigating a simple robot around a simulated course to controlling simulated and actual robotic arms, and finally, to an autonomous robot that runs with an embedded PC or PDA.
