TALOS

TALOS is a sophisticated humanoid robot developed by PAL Robotics, a Spanish company. It stands at 175 cm tall and weighs 95 kg, making it an adult-sized humanoid robot. TALOS is designed for complex tasks in industrial and research settings, leveraging its advanced torque control and sensor feedback systems to navigate uneven terrain and perform precise manipulations.

TALOS is a powerful tool for industrial automation and research, capable of handling tasks that require both strength and precision. Its adaptability and safety features make it suitable for environments where human-robot collaboration is essential.

Key Features:

  • Design and Movement: TALOS features a bipedal design with 32 high-torque brushless DC motors, allowing it to walk at speeds of up to 3 km/h and climb stairs. It has torque sensor feedback in all joints, enabling dynamic balancing and multi-contact motions.

  • AI and Software: The robot runs on ROS (Robot Operating System) and uses Ubuntu Linux OS, with real-time control loops and simulation capabilities through Gazebo.

  • Applications: TALOS is primarily used in industrial settings for tasks like drilling and screwing, and in research environments for developing advanced human-robot interaction skills.

  • Sensors and Actuators: Equipped with RGB-D cameras, inertial measurement units (IMUs), and force/torque sensors on each foot and wrist, TALOS can sense its environment accurately and interact with objects precisely.

Technical Specifications:

  • Height: 175 cm

  • Weight: 95 kg

  • Payload Capacity: 6 kg per arm when fully extended

  • Speed: Up to 3 km/h

  • Sensors: Torque sensors in all joints, RGB-D camera, IMU

  • Actuators: 32 high-torque brushless DC motors

  • Degrees of Freedom: 32 DoF (Leg: 6 DoF x 2; Arm: 7 DoF x 2; Gripper: 1 DoF x 2; Waist: 2 DoF; Neck: 2 DoF)

  • Compute: Two Intel Core i7 CPUs

  • Power: 1080-Wh lithium-ion battery, providing 1.5 hours of walking operation and 3 hours on standby.
