PAL Robotics at MWC Barcelona 2026: Meet TIAGo Pro and teleoperate it live

TIAGo Pro in Barcelona

PAL Robotics, an European pioneer and leader in humanoid and service robotics, will be at the  Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2026 from March 2–5 at Fira Gran Via, as an integral exhibitor of the Spain Pavilion (Hall 4 – 4C30, Stand 5). 

Set in the city where the company was founded and where its headquarters still stand, PAL Robotics is prepared to participate in the global connectivity ecosystem and share how robotics, AI and real-time communication come together to enable robots to move from controlled demos to practical deployment.

Get hands-on with an advanced mobile manipulator

At the stand, you will meet TIAGo Pro, PAL Robotics’ next-generation mobile manipulator. Designed as an adaptable platform, TIAGo Pro brings together navigation, perception and manipulation capabilities with a fully open-source software architecture, so you can build, integrate and iterate faster, enhancing your projects where you need it most, and enabling research and development for diverse applications and streamlining deployment across industries.

To make the experience truly interactive, PAL Robotics is bringing a hands-on highlight to the stand: you will be able to teleoperate TIAGo Pro live! Take the controls and guide the robot in real time to see how teleoperation can be responsive in dynamic environments, an essential capability for scenarios where human oversight, remote presence or direct control makes all the difference. Come by and try it yourself!

PAL Robotics’ participation during the congress 

Out of the booth and highlighting connectivity, PAL Robotics’ CEO, Francesco Ferro, will join the event programme at the Conference Set in the Spain Pavilion with a round-table titled “What do the androids of today dream about? High-tech robots for everyday environments ” on Tuesday, 3rd of March, sharing perspectives on human–robot collaboration and what it takes to deploy robots meaningfully in real environments.

During the same week and also in Barcelona,PAL Robotics will be present at Talent Arena, where you can meet ARI, one of PAL Robotics’ legacy robots, and attend thetalk “AI @ PAL Robots” on Wednesday, 4th of March, at Talent Arena to explore how AI supports robot behaviour and interaction in practical settings.

About PAL Robotics

PAL Robotics started in 2004, when a small group of engineers built the first fully autonomous humanoid biped robot in Europe which also happened to play chess. Today the company is still well known for humanoid robots, as well as retail and manufacturing solutions, and develops state-of-the-art robots for companies and research institutions worldwide. PAL Robotics’ mission is to enhance people’s quality of life through service robotics and automation, and the company has also partnered in over 60 collaborative research projects to further the development of robotics.
