ROS is painful to work with and doesn’t scale well. It’s a shame Microsoft abandoned Robotics Developer Studio over a decade ago. Robotics Developer Studio started off in a promising direction. It had the CCR (Coordination and Concurrency Runtime) and the DSS (Decentralized System Services) which together made it possible to coordinate real time robotics in a RESTful environment across distributed hardware. It had also had full access to .NET. There’s never been anything quite like it since. Unfortunately MS pulled the plug before it had a chance to mature into an easy-to-use well documented platform.
