CoroWare Technologies announced the availability of CoroWare ClassPack for Microsoft (News - Alert) Robotics Studio, which is a simulation package complementing its CoroBot mobile robot product line. CoroWare Technologies is a fully owned subsidiary of CoroWare.

 

CoroWare specializes in developing software and solutions for mobile service robotics and business automation like the CoroBot product line.

 

CoroWare’s CoroBot and ClassPack together form an affordable and effective robotics solution required for teaching and research. Students will be able to write robotics applications using the CoroWare ClassPack services. The applications will run on both simulation and on real CoroBot.

 

ClassPack is essentially a classroom environment allowing the robot to encounter common objects which are generally found in an office or classroom. For controlling the CoroBot a remote control panel interface is provided which is easy to use.

 

“Simulation is the perfect tool for educators and researchers since they can realistically model any environment without the pains and costs involved with creating that environment,” said Sara Morgan, CoroWare Robotic software engineer, and author of “Programming Microsoft Robotics Studio.”

 

“Students and researchers can experiment with a lower-cost version of CoroBot in the simulation environment, and then run their application on a real CoroBot in the classroom or lab,” added Morgan.

 

CoroWare will launch CoroWare ClassPack in the market with two licensing options. ClassPack with an unlimited license can be installed and run on a single computer. Educational institutions will be given discounts upon request clarified the company.

 

“We are excited to see CoroWare continue to build upon its expertise in robotics simulation and its line of products,” said Dan Kara, industry analyst and president of Robotics Trends. “We believe the introduction of new products to the market like CoroWare ClassPack will further drive the adoption of robotics at universities and colleges worldwide.”

 

CoroWare ClassPack for Microsoft Robotics Studio can be downloaded from the company Web site for the latest version. CoroWare Technologies is essentially a systems and mobile robotics integrator which offers high-value services and innovative solutions for the maximization of technology investments.
