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.
