Talos
TALOS is a high-performance bipedal humanoid robot engineered for advanced research in Industry 4.0, AI, machine learning, and locomotion. Standing at 175 cm with human-like proportions, it features 32 degrees of freedom, including 6-DoF legs for dynamic walking on uneven terrain and stairs, 7-DoF arms capable of lifting 6 kg payloads per arm at full extension, and torque-controlled grippers for dexterous manipulation. Equipped with full torque sensor feedback in all joints, 4x 6-axis force/torque sensors at ankles and wrists, RGB-D cameras, high-rate IMU, and dual Intel Core i7 processors, TALOS excels in multi-contact motions, power tool operation like drilling and riveting, human-robot interaction, and perception tasks. ROS/ROS2 integration enables real-time control at 2 kHz, supporting torque-based walking, navigation, and bi-manual dexterity in industrial and research environments.
