About TALOS
TALOS is a full-size humanoid research platform with torque sensing and control across its major joints. The body combines bipedal legs, articulated arms, hands and onboard perception for walking, balancing and manipulation within human-scale environments.
PAL Robotics supplies ROS-based software, simulation models and low-level control access for whole-body dynamics, contact planning and physical interaction. Research teams use TALOS for locomotion, industrial manipulation, disaster-response studies and AI policy development. The platform is delivered through direct research-programme engagement.
