TALOS
TALOS is a high-performance fully electric bipedal humanoid robot developed by PAL Robotics, standing 1.75 m tall and weighing 95 kg. Featuring 32 degrees of freedom powered by high-torque brushless DC motors with integrated torque sensors in all joints, TALOS can walk at up to 3 km/h and lift 6 kg per arm at full extension. It uses EtherCAT communication for control loops up to 5 kHz, is equipped with two Intel Core i7 processors, and runs on Ubuntu LTS with full ROS/ROS2 support including OROCOS, MoveIt!, and Gazebo simulation. The platform is designed for research on physically demanding tasks in industrial and hostile environments.
