The emerging technology, robots are growing at an alarming rate, with statistics pointing to over 1.2 million of these machines coming to factories worldwide by 2018; Microsoft wants to be part of this growth with the announcement of an experimental Robot Operating System (ROS) for Windows.

While robots have been saddled with cases of incessant poor software protection, including outdated software, and exposed IP addresses which poses a higher risk for hackers gaining easy access to the machines.

The case of ABB robots which were reported to have been remotely programmed by reversely-engineering the RobotWare program and the RobotStudio software, allowing the machine's network to be hacked and switching the robot to draw a straight line, is a pointer.

These findings raised serious concerns about the more general automations of the future. Albeit ABB has since fixed the flaws in its robot's software; the advancement of robots calls for the development of tools infused with artificial intelligence technology to augment human abilities in the machines.

ROS for Windows consist of libraries and tools to help in the building of complex robots: both industrial and personal, which are ready for deployments around the world with the cutting-edge robotic projects.

These advanced robots will complement our lives, in the home and at the office. For instance, warehouse robots have made it possible for online shoppers to get next-day deliveries, and many homes are turning to robotic vacuum cleaners to keep their floors clean.

With ROS for Windows, developers will be able to use a set of toolset along with rich AI and cloud capabilities to bring intelligent edge to robotics with advanced features like hardware-accelerated Machine Learning, computer vision, and other Microsoft technologies.

Microsoft demonstrated a ROBOTIS Turtlebot 3 robot at ROSCon 2018 in Madrid, Spain, running the ROS release known as Melodic Morenia, that recognizes and steers toward the person closest to the robot.

The Turtlebot 3 robot runs Windows 10 IoT Enterprise on an Intel Coffee Lake NUC using a new node that leverages hardware-accelerated Windows Machine Learning.

The company has scheduled to host Windows builds for ROS1 and shortly ROS2, as well as provide documentation, development and deployment solutions on ROS for Windows. And it's working with Open Robotics and the ROS Industrial Consortium to extend the advancement in ROS to improve the productivity and return on investment of industrial robots.
