Overview
PAL Robotics' high-payload research humanoid: 175 cm, 95 kg, 32 DoF (two 6-DoF legs, two 7-DoF arms, 2-DoF waist, 2-DoF neck, 1-DoF three-finger grippers) with joint torque sensing in almost all joints, a 1080 Wh battery and a real-time ROS control loop. Each arm carries 6 kg at full stretch. Sold on request for research and industrial-manipulation work.

Key facts
- 32 DoF: legs 6 x2, arms 7 x2, grippers 1 x2, waist 2, neck 2 (PAL datasheet, fetched 2026-10-17).
- Battery: 1080 Wh nominal Li-ion, max discharge +100 A; 1.5 h walking or 3 h stand-by (datasheet).
- Control: real-time ros_control loop at +1 kHz on the datasheet; the product page states 2 kHz, up to 5 kHz via an external EtherCAT master.
- Open simulation model and URDF are published on the ROS wiki (wiki.ros.org/Robots/TALOS); Gazebo and MoveIt! supported.
- Launched to buyers March 2017 (IEEE Spectrum, 2017-03-07); the 2017 article quotes 100 kg, the current datasheet 95 kg.
