PAL Robotics
TALOS
PAL Robotics' full-size humanoid research platform, built in Barcelona. TALOS stands 1.75m tall and weighs 95kg, with 32 degrees of freedom and full torque sensing in all joints (except head, wrists, and grippers). It can carry 6kg per arm fully extended, making it one of the strongest research humanoids available. Its EtherCAT communication network runs control loops at 2 kHz (up to 5 kHz), enabling highly reactive and dynamic motions. Fully ROS-based and open-source-friendly, with simulation models available. Used in top research labs worldwide for locomotion, whole-body control, and industrial manipulation research. The head and grippers are fully customizable.
TIAGo
TIAGo (Take It And Go) is a modular mobile manipulator robot developed by PAL Robotics in Barcelona. It combines perception, navigation, manipulation, and human-robot interaction in a customizable platform used by over 40 collaborative research projects across 27 countries. TIAGo features a telescoping torso (110–145 cm height), optional 7 DoF arms with Series Elastic Actuators for safe compliant control, and interchangeable end-effectors including a parallel gripper and the Hey5 anthropomorphic hand. Fully ROS-based with open-source simulation, it supports mapping, autonomous navigation, pick-and-place, grasping, speech recognition, multi-language text-to-speech, and telepresence. Available in configurations from no arms to dual arms.
REEM-C
REEM-C is a full-size bipedal humanoid research robot built by PAL Robotics in Barcelona, Spain. Standing 165 cm tall with 68 degrees of freedom, it can walk stably, climb stairs, and sit in a chair. It runs on ROS with Ubuntu Linux and is fully open-source in simulation. Designed for AI and robotics research, it supports whole-body control, autonomous navigation, grasping, speech recognition, and teleoperation. Used by universities and research labs worldwide.
