The basic robotics tutorials help you getting started writing the very first service for a robot. The tutorials take the programmer from getting input from a single sensor to control an actuator to being able to write a, drive-by-wire, application where the robot will move around.

The tutorials are available in multiple programming languages. Please check the available languages in the table of contents and select the one that suits you.

Robotics Tutorial 1 - Accessing a Service

Understanding how to use services is a key to the Decentralized Software Services programming model. This tutorial starts off with how to access a service for a simple sensor.

Robotics Tutorial 2 - Coordinating Services

This tutorial builds on the previous tutorial and shows you how to use the input from a simple sensor and use it to control a motor service.

Robotics Tutorial 3 – Using Abstract Reusable Services

This tutorial describes of a generic drive and contact service that you can apply across a variety of hardware platform and includes a simple wanderer service.

Robotics Tutorial 4 – Drive-By-Wire

This tutorial covers how to build a simple application to use a conventional Windows Forms user interface to control a motor drive service.
