[ROS#资讯汇总（ROS、C#、.NET和Unity3D）]

ROS＃是C＃中的一组软件库和工具，用于.NET应用程序（尤其是Unity）与ROS进行通信。

之前博文涉及windows系统与ROS应用可参考（ROS2有windows版本）：链接1、链接2。

本文是西门子公司的Martin Bischoff客座博客文章。感谢Martin的更新，感谢西门子对ROS-Industrial Consortium的支持！

ROS#包括如下内容：

RosBridgeClient, a .NET API to ROS using rosbridge_suite on the ROS side.
UrdfImporter, a URDF file parser for .NET applications.
RosSharp.unitypackage, a Unity Asset package providing Unity-specific extensions to RosBridgeClient and UrdfImporter.

ROS#可以实现功能有：

Communicate：通过Windows应用程序与ROS进行通讯：订阅和发布主题，调用和发布服务，设置和获取参数以及使用rosbridge套件提供的所有功能。

image

Import：将机器人的URDF模型作为GameObject导入到Unity3D中。使用robot_description服务直接从ROS系统导入数据，或通过复制到Unity资源文件夹中的URDF文件导入数据。

image

Control：通过Unity3D控制真实机器人。

image

Visualize：在Unity3D中可视化机器人的实际状态和传感器数据。

image

Simulate：使用URDF提供的数据在Unity3D中实现机器人仿真（这里不使用与ROS的连接的方式）。除了网格和纹理的可视化组件之外，还可以导入了刚体的关节参数、质量、CoMs、惯性和碰撞等规格指标。

And much more：更多功能！ROS＃可用于各种应用，如机器学习、人机交互、远程监控、虚拟原型、机器人操作、游戏和娱乐等！

.NET Standard 2.0:

Both RosBridgeClient and UrdfImporter are running on .NET Framework 3.5 as this is the .NET platform currently supported by official Unity3D releases.

For Non-Unity3D-Applications blommers kindly provides a .NET Standard 2.0 version of UrdfImporter.
