Soccer Simulation for Microsoft Robotics Studio -- 1.5 (CTP May 2007)

Microsoft 11996 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

The simulated soccer services implement a simulated soccer competition, using the RoboCup specifications for the field environment, plus automatic enforcement of RoboCup game play rules. The robotic players can be a variety of simulated entities ranging from articulated robots, to simple differential drive models.

Sumo Competition for Microsoft Robotics Studio 1.5 (CTP May 2007)

Microsoft 11996 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

The Sumo Competition Services provide a simulation environment which hosts sumo competitions as well as a sample sumo player service which can be used in the simulation environment and with physical robots.

The sumo competition takes place in a round ring. The inner part of the ring is a non-reflective black surface while the outer part of the ring is brightly colored and reflective. Two robots are placed within the ring and must remain within the ring. A match consists of three rounds which are each 60 seconds long. A round ends when one robot goes outside of the ring and a point is awarded to the other robot. The point is awarded even if the robot was not pushed out of the ring. The robot with the most points at the end of the match wins. If the round finishes with neither robot leaving the ring, no points are awarded.

The services are used with iRobot Create robots with an on-board CE computer and a mounted webcam. The robots have a differential drive which allows them to move forward or backward at any angle and also to swivel in place. The robots have left and right bumper sensors to sense contact with another robot and IR sensors on the bottom to detect a change in the IR reflectivity under the robot. The different reflectivity of the outer part of the ring allows the robots to sense when they are about to leave the ring.

The goal of the Microsoft Robotics Studio is to supply a software platform for the robotics community that can be used across a wide variety of hardware, applicable to a wide audience of users, and development of a wide variety of applications. As a platform, our intent is also to enable third parties to supply support for new hardware, technologies, and tools, just as Microsoft Windows provides a platform for others to bring their products and technologies to the community of PC users. So while we may populate our platform with some of our own contributions, those should not be considered exclusive to tools or libraries provided by other parties looking to provide interesting technologies for this platform.

The Microsoft Robotics Studio delivers three areas of software:
A scalable, extensible runtime architecture that can span a wide variety of hardware and devices. The programming interface can be used to address robots using 8-bit or 16-bit processors as well as 32-bit systems with multi-core processors and devices from simple touch sensors to laser distance finding devices.

A set of useful tools that make programming and debugging robot applications scenarios easier. These include a high quality visual simulation environment that uses the Ageia Technologies PhysX engine.
A set of useful technology libraries services and samples to help developers get started with writing robot applications.

Our development environment runs on the platforms listed in the section "System Requirements". It can be used to support robots that support these platforms as well as robots that can be remotely controlled from a PC running a supported platform. The remote control can for example be through a serial port, Bluetooth, RF or Wi-Fi. We provide information that can be used by hardware or software vendors to make their products compatible with our development platform.

Internet Protocol Security Enforcement in the Network Access Protection Platform

Microsoft 11996 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Network Access Protection is a platform for Microsoft Windows Server Longhorn (now in beta testing) and Windows Vista that provides policy enforcement components to help ensure that computers connecting to a network meet administrator-defined requirements for system health. Internet Protocol security (IPsec) is a set of Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards that provides cryptographic protection for IP-based traffic. This document provides an overview of the Network Access Protection platform and IPsec, and how IPsec Enforcement in the Network Access Protection platform works to provide system health policy enforcement for IPsec-protected communication.

Microsoft 11996 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Network Access Protection (NAP) is a health policy creation, enforcement, and remediation technology that is included in Microsoft Windows Vista (now in beta testing) and Windows Server Code Name "Longhorn" (now in beta testing). With NAP, system administrators can enforce health requirements, which can include software requirements, security update requirements, required computer configurations, and other settings. This paper describes how to create a test lab for NAP with the virtual private network (VPN) enforcement method using the Beta 2 releases of Windows Vista and Windows Server Longhorn.
