Hi, I want to use c# to build robot interface. I found c# is very convenient,because both windows and linux can run the same c# program. c# can use mono to run. So if c# can also be included in ROS, it will be very great~

C# is not supported yet; if you must use C#, your only option would be to re-implement the basic network protocols in C#, but that will be a lot of work.

If you are just looking for a way to build a platform-independent robot interface, you could have a look at rosjava.

It's not really necessary to re-implement it. You could also use a foreign language interface and wrap it around roscpp as the old jni based rosjava did it. Of course, that wouldn't run on windows then :) Lorenz (Jun 26 '11)edit

Is anyone who want to implement c# interface? Because I found that many useful libraries like aforge which has a lot of high level of tech like machine learning,neural network,fuzzy,genetic algorithms...etc. sam (Aug 10 '11)edit

You can basically run ROS with any language supporting networking. So, yes, ROS is able to support C#. BUT there needs to be an implementation and as far as I know there is no C# one.

If you are only looking for platform independence python is supported very well in ROS. Full ROS usability in Windows is somewhat limited, though, as you will want all ROS features.

What should I do when I want to init C# program to a ros node (not by rosjava)? sam (Aug 10 '11)edit

You will need to have a client library: "http://www.ros.org/wiki/Implementing Client Libraries" dornhege (Aug 10 '11)edit

You can attempt to convert the rosjava.jar into a CLR lib using IKVM--haven't tried it but it may work. It basically convert JVM byte code into CLR IL. Once you have the DLL you just load it like you normally would in Visual Studio/MonoDevelop.
