Now, the company has announced that it is bringing the Robot Operating System (ROS1) to Windows 10.

In a blog post, Microsoft has stated that ROS1 is an experimental release, which contains the tools and libraries that will enable developers to build complex robots, while also towing the security features of Windows 10 IoT. It will allow developers to utilize advanced capabilities such as computer vision, Windows Machine Learning, and Azure Cognitive Services, among others, in their robots.

This development could potentially provide benefits in numerous industrial, commercial, and educational scenarios where robots running on ROS and Windows 10 could augment humans. Microsoft says that it will host builds for ROS2 as well soon, and will provide full documentation and support for Windows-based solutions. You can find out more about the endeavor here.

Earlier this year, Microsoft and Open Robotics' Robot Operating System (ROS) was made generally available. The open source robotics framework allows for the development of robotics software, essentially enabling robots to benefit from the Windows ecosystem. Special access to features like Windows Machine Learning and Vision Skills are also provided through the operating system.

Now, Microsoft has announced a set of expanded capabilities and improved support for ROS at the ROSCON event being held in Macau. Notable additions include further support for ROS and ROS2, a new Visual Studio Code extension, and the Azure VM ROS template to help perform cloud-based testing.
Lastly, support for ROS and ROS2 has been substantially increased through the introduction of the Microsoft-supported ROS nodes including the Windows ML Tracking ROS Node, the Azure IoT Hub ROS Node, and the Azure Kinect ROS Driver.
