Thank you everybody for your useful advices; especially Brian for the link.
(I hadn't seen that page before!)

I guess I found my answer: ROS covers our particular needs (moderated
autonomous mobile manipulation in rough terrain) far more than Player. But
first we should start feasibility study!

Thank you again!
