Ada is a general-purpose, strongly-typed, compiled language with a focus and long tradition in the embedded, high-integrity, mission-critical domains. This talk will present a newly available Ada binding to the ROS2 RCL library, rclada, which enables the writing of ROS2 nodes using the Ada language. Furthermore, the talk will describe, using ROS2 examples written with rclada, features of the language that make it an idoneous fit for robotics projects, and that may particularly interest experienced developers in other languages with similar target domains such as C++.
