Footage
PAL Robotics footage of its TALOS research humanoid walking, grasping, and collaborating. A research-platform capability reel of engineered demonstrations.
LAAS-CNRS (Laboratoire d'Analyse et d'Architecture des Systemes, CNRS Toulouse) operates a PAL Robotics TALOS humanoid as a primary research platform for whole-body loco-manipulation, dynamic walking, and dexterous manipulation. The LAAS-CNRS team (Olivier Stasse et al.) co-authored the original TALOS paper at the 2017 IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots and has published extensively on control, planning, and motion generation using their TALOS unit. TALOS is a 1.75m, 95kg torque-controlled humanoid designed for industrial research.
