Thanks to Fabian Aichele, a very active developer around robotics in SOFA, a new plugin has just been released in open-source: the ROS Connector Plugin.

The ROS Connector Plugin is enabling a bi-directional communication between the SOFA framework and the open-source robotics middleware ROS (Robot Operating System). It allows the usage of SOFA-based simulations in combination with ROS-enabled software frameworks.
