Price and availability
from evidence packWhat the PAL Robotics TALOS can do
evidence by capability dimensionProduct page claims 6 kg payload per arm fully extended and customisable grippers; ROBOTS guide says TALOS can lift 6 kg per hand and complete tasks such as drilling or screwing. No video transcript or independent demonstration was reviewed.
No evidence of autonomous task execution was found. Official product page mentions teleoperation as premium software, and ROBOTS guide lists both Fully Autonomous and Teleoperated features, but no autonomous demo or disclosure was provided. Video sources are titles only.
Official page describes TALOS as a walking biped with torque control in all joints, EtherCAT control loops at 2–5 kHz, and provides whole-body control software. ROBOTS guide claims dynamic walking, including uneven ground and stairs, and 3 km/h speed. No video evidence reviewed.
Specs list RGB-D camera, IMU, force/torque sensors at wrists and ankles, and expansion modules for new sensors. No scene understanding demo or benchmark was found.
Product page lists HRI skills as premium software and customisable head/gripper; ROBOTS guide lists human-robot interaction skills. No interaction demo or evaluation found.
Battery autonomy is 1.5 hours walking and 3 hours standby (1080 Wh lithium-ion per ROBOTS guide). No reliability data, failure rates, or maintenance logs were found.
TALOS is 175 cm tall and weighs 95 kg, with torque sensors in all joints for compliant interaction. Product page says it is Used globally in top labs driving robotics, AI, and human-centered tech. No safety certification found.
What is proven
source-backed highlights- Official product page confirms 175 cm, 95 kg, 6 kg per-arm payload, 1.5 h walking runtime, torque sensors in all joints, EtherCAT 2–5 kHz.
- ROBOTS guide lists 32 DoF, 1080 Wh battery, two Intel i7 CPUs, and approximate cost €900,000.
- Public open-source URDF under Apache 2.0 and available via GitHub/Cyberwave.
- Named research deployments indicated by video titles from University of Waterloo and University of Edinburgh.
Caveats
read before you trust a demo- No official price or online store found; only approximate cost €900,000 from ROBOTS guide and request-a-quote on official page
- No autonomous task execution evidence or autonomy disclosure.
- No video transcript or observable capability; all video evidence is title-only.

About the PAL Robotics TALOS
summary from sourced evidencePAL Robotics TALOS is a full-size biped humanoid (175 cm, 95 kg) introduced around 2017 and sold to research labs. Official evidence confirms 6 kg per-arm payload, 1.5 h walking runtime, torque sensors in most joints, and EtherCAT control loops up to 5 kHz; ROBOTS guide adds 32 DoF, 1080 Wh battery and approximate €900,000 cost. The robot is ROS-based with an open-source URDF under Apache 2.0. However, reviewed public evidence contains no autonomous task demonstration or capability video content beyond titles, and no commercial deployment metrics
