Hi Hendrik, <div><br></div><div>Thanks for the announcement. Would you be willing to host a rosinstall file where you could maintain the list of your released stacks? We generally recommend this of people releasing more than one stack so that if they want to update what gets indexed they can do so without needing to have us do the updates for them. Often people just put the file into their source repositories and provide a raw download link to it. </div>

<br>
we are happy to announce three new ROS repositories:<br>
<br>
- cn-roscs-ros-pkg (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/cn-roscs-ros-pkg/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/cn-<u></u>roscs-ros-pkg/</a>)<br>
<br>
This stack contains a single package: roscs, which provides C# wrappers for ROS. It does not support the complete ROS functionality, but the parts we deemed most important, namely publish / subscribe, service calls, limited support for parameters and some minor functionality. We are using this under Linux with mono, Windows is not tested and will probably not work.<br>
<br>
- cn-util-ros-pkg (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/cn-util-ros-pkg/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/cn-<u></u>util-ros-pkg/</a>)<br>
<br>
This stack contains some useful utility libraries, namely:<br>
- cstf, which wraps some tf methods in C#,<br>
- Castor, a utility library for reading and writing configuration files from C++ and C#,<br>
- udp_proxy_generator - Generates multicast proxies for ros topics. It is a very simple approach to a multi master environment, no namespace or topic remappings are done, messages are simply relayed. Given a configuration file, which specifies topics and message types, C++ code for a proxy is generated and compiled.<br>
<br>
- cn-alica-ros-pkg (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/cn-alica-ros-pkg/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/cn-<u></u>alica-ros-pkg/</a>)<br>
<br>
This stack holds ALICA, a framework to coordinate and control multiple robots. It consists of three packages:<br>
- Planmodeller - an Eclipse-based IDE to model<br>
multi-robot behaviour.<br>
- AlicaEngine - an execution layer for the designed programs.<br>
- AlicaClient - a simple monitoring GUI.<br>
At its core, ALICA, similar to SMACH, uses hierarchies of state-automata to define behaviour. In contrast to SMACH, it is geared at teams of robots, and features task and role allocation algorithms and coordinated constraint solving and optimisation facilities.<br>
<br>
This is part of an ongoing effort to make the source code of the RoboCup Mid-Size Team Carpe Noctem publicly available. All this software is used on our MSL robots. Documentation will be added to the wiki once indexed.<br>
This video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhIrhU19PG4" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?<u></u>v=HhIrhU19PG4</a> shows the software in action during the Dutch Open 2012 tournament.<br>
<br>
