TALOS

TALOS, the advanced humanoid robot designed to boost your research

TALOS

Your 1.75 meter pal in research

A walking biped robot capable of lifting objects up to 6 kg with one arm fully extended. It is completely configurable, thanks to being fully developed in ROS.

Features

Torque control

TALOS is fully torque-controllable thanks to the torque sensor feedback in all joints, which enables powerful sensing and multi-contact motions.

Features

EtherCAT Network

TALOS’ EtherCAT communication network allows to run control loops at 2 kHz, and up to 5 kHz, which enables TALOS to have highly reactive and dynamic motions.

Features

6kg Payload per arm

TALOS has a payload of 6 Kg with each arm fully extended, as it was designed having in mind the use of heavy industrial tools. This enables our walking biped humanoid robot to effectively perform tasks in various environments such as the Factory of the Future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get to know how to work closer with TALOS.

TALOS’ Torque control has a low latency of 2kHz.

We provide a state estimation from IMU+kinematics out-of-the-box, a system for fusing this odometry with additional external measurements should be tackled with an additional estimator out of the real-time ros_control loop. This would be safer for the whole body torque control that relies on the CoM estimation.

Via ros_control, you have access to the encoders, IMU, torque sensors at a joint level, Force/Torque sensors on the wrists and ankles and temperature sensors of the robots.

Yes, the URDF includes CoM position, mass and inertia tensors. This model has been extracted from the CAD and it was validated by the full body inverse dynamics and torque control on the walking biped robot.
