Alex, I am in a kind of similar position - in my robotics team all the
people
are using C++. I have simply decided not to bother and do my work with
Ada.

There are a lot of programming languages around and people use ALL of
them
to program their robots. Please take a look at the list of languages,
which
you can use for Lego NXT programming (Ada is also there!):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Mindstorms_NXT#Programming

The question is what is your focus in a robotics research? If it is a
RT control,
than I see no point in not using Ada. If you are interested in AI,
then Lisp is
probably the way to go. It has been shown, that virtually any language
can be
used for a robotic research. I think you should simply pick a one,
which allows
you to focus on what is your primary goal.
