Robot Operating System for Windows IoT-Now developers can build and deploy commercial-grade Robot Operating System (ROS) solutions on Windows, making robots easier to develop, more aware of their surroundings, and safer to be around.Microsoft Azure IoT Device Agent enables operators to configure, monitor, and manage their devices remotely from their Azure dashboard.

Direct device access may not always be feasible when IoT devices are out in the field or on the factory floor. Azure IoT Device Agent for Windows-Customers across industries, whether in an industrial setting or retail environment, are looking for ways to remotely provision and manage their IoT devices.With these capabilities, it’s easy to see how devices get smarter. Customers benefit by deploying cloud applications and services on the edge, while ensuring they meet latency, bandwidth, and data privacy requirements. They can scale IoT solutions across the cloud or edge with a managed service that delivers cloud intelligence locally by deploying and running AI, Azure services, and custom logic directly on cross-platform IoT devices. Azure IoT Edge for Windows-Developers can easily bring cloud workloads to the edge so that they can harness the full power of the Windows 10 IoT platform.New capabilities for Windows 10 IoT are oriented to making developers’ jobs easier:

For example, imagine network videorecorders or high-end gateways, connecting thousands or even tens of thousands of sensors or devices, then storing, analyzing, and acting on these data streams in near-real-time with reduced latency and bandwidth consumption through utilizing the power of the intelligent edge. With full binary compatibility to Windows Server 2019, device manufacturers can build server-class IoT edge devices that enable high-capacity storage and compute scenarios and seamlessly scale between cloud and the edge.

Today, we’re pleased to announce the release of Windows Server IoT 2019 to securely handle the largest edge workloads with fixed-function, server-class devices. This includes Windows 10 IoT Core for small-footprint, smart-edge devices and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, which brings the full power of Windows to IoT devices. Windows 10 IoT provides a family of operating systems for device builders to develop solutions, from compact low-power devices to servers and everything in between. Here are some highlights of what we’re unveiling at Embedded World. This week at Embedded World in Nuremberg, Germany, we’re announcing new products and services for Windows IoT to help make this real for device manufacturers, solution developers, and customers. At Microsoft, we’re focused on simplifying the Internet of Things (IoT) by making it easier to quickly build secure, smart devices that leverage the intelligent cloud while harnessing the full power of the intelligent edge, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and robotics.
