Since 2004, PAL Robotics has been shaping the future of robotics in Europe by working side by side with universities, research centers, and industry partners. Our commitment to collaboration has led us to spearhead more than 25 EU-funded projects, where our robots act as living platforms for experimentation in fields such as AI, cybersecurity, healthcare, and smart cities. These collaborations are at the core of our mission: enabling researchers to bring ideas from the lab into real-world environments.
This September, we are proud to be Gold Sponsors of the AI, Data, and Robotics Forum (ADRF) 2025 in Stavanger, Norway. ADRF is a hub where Europe’s robotics and AI community comes together to exchange knowledge, foster innovation, and explore future possibilities. At the forum, we’ll showcase our flagship mobile manipulator, TIAGo Pro, and share how our participation in collaborative projects continues to enrich Europe’s research ecosystem.
Co-creating the Future
Research needs the right tools, and at PAL Robotics, we build robotics that act as true helpful platforms for scientists and engineers. In projects like MANOLO, our robots demonstrate how advanced AI algorithms for healthcare and manufacturing can move beyond theory into practice, adapting dynamically to real-world tasks. Similarly, in PRIMI, we contribute with the upgraded KANGAROO humanoid platform, designed to support neuro-inspired rehabilitation for stroke survivors, highlighting how co-creation can bring tangible benefits to society.
Co-creation also drives our work in PILLAR, where TIAGo and TIAGo++ help explore how robots can set their own goals and strategies, and in CENTAURO, where TIAGo Pro is being enhanced with 3D vision and safe trajectory generation to boost productivity in Spanish industry. By combining engineering services with versatile robotic systems, PAL Robotics ensures researchers always have access to platforms that adapt to their specific project needs.
Open-source Software
Openness is essential for progress. That’s why our robots are fully ROS 2-compatible, empowering researchers to install their own packages, drivers, and controllers. This flexibility has made them the ideal testbed in projects like CoreSense, which focuses on enabling robots to better understand their environments, and ARISE, which is building new standards for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) in healthcare and industrial scenarios.
This commitment is also applied in CAPSUL-IA, where PAL Robotics contributes to making AI adoption easier and more accessible by integrating pre-configured AI solutions into our robots. By offering open and modular platforms, we ensure that researchers across Europe can freely adapt, extend, and share their work, strengthening at the same time the collective progress of the robotics community.
Embodied AI for Robot Learning
Robotics research doesn’t stop at simulations: algorithms must be validated in the real world. Our platforms are designed for embodied AI, combining robust hardware with software architectures that let researchers deploy and test models in real time. In AGIMUS, for example, TIAGo++ plays a central role in agile manufacturing, where reinforcement learning and advanced motion planning allow robots to perform complex industrial tasks with autonomy.
In ARISE, our TIAGo robot demonstrates embodied AI in healthcare, helping test multimodal interactions such as item fetching and human communication in realistic environments. In CENTAURO, TIAGo Pro supports embodied AI by tackling challenging industrial applications like polishing and logistics, proving that robots can adapt to evolving tasks while ensuring safety and reliability. Each of these projects underscores the importance of robots as adaptable, resilient research companions that bridge the gap between digital models and physical interaction.
