Revision history [back]

Yes. ROS is a multi-lingual OS, the service-client specification is at the messaging layer. P2P communication occurs in XML-RPC. So you can just write your code in any language supported and let the mid-layer handle this for you. You can take a look at the original paper: http://www.willowgarage.com/papers/ros-open-source-robot-operating-system

Hope this helps.
