Abstract :
Microsoft recently announced the release of Microsoft robotics studio (MSRS) for developing applications for robots. By itself, it is interesting to see this new toolkit, but it should appeal beyond those interested in programming robots. In this research, MSRS is used to control the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robot motion using Webcam for road sign recognition. MSRS software, Sensors, and Motors are used as services for the robot. We also generated a modular service for Webcam that allows LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robot to become more flexible and intelligent. The robot can follow a path by recognizing road signs such as left, right, and stop.
