Project Description
TALOS
The humanoid robot that integrates the latest cutting-edge robotics technology
Torque control
The bipedal humanoid TALOS is fully torque-controllable thanks to the torque sensor feedback in all joints, which enables powerful sensing and multi-contact motions. The closed loop torque control can be used for whole-body control inverse dynamics and safe interaction with the environment.

EtherCAT Network
TALOS’ EtherCAT communication network allows to run control loops at 1 kHz, and up to 5 kHz, which enables TALOS to have highly reactive and dynamic motions.

6kg Payload per arm
TALOS has a payload of 6 Kg with each arm fully extended, because it was designed having in mind the use of heavy industrial tools. This capacitates the robot for effectively perform tasks in environments such as the Factory of the Future.
