If you were at TechReady in Redmond last month, you know what my new project focuses in on. For those of you who didn't, I'll can share that my new project is robotics-related.

After transferring Tafiti over to Angus' team earlier this year, I've been focusing the vast majority of my time on robotics (via Microsoft Robotics Studio and it's underlying technologies CCR and DSS). While you may think this a big shift from my historical work in services and workflow - but it actually isn't. Most people have an emotional reaction to the word robot, typically connected with a robot from their favorite films. They get caught up in the science fiction and not the science fact.

When you begin looking at robotics, you realize that everything on a robot is a serivce and there is an orchestrating service that recieves information, analyzes it and when appropriate calls other services in response. Hmmm... sounds like services and workflows, doesn't it?

More details soon...
