TALOS
TALOS is a bipedal research robot with 32 degrees of freedom.
Summary
TALOS is a bipedal research robot. It can perform tasks autonomously or via teleoperation, climb stairs, and navigate using stereo and LiDAR.
TALOS has a height of 175 cm and a mass of 95 kg. It is constructed from aluminum and carbon fiber. The robot features 32 degrees of freedom, with 7 degrees of freedom per arm and 6 degrees of freedom per leg. Each arm can carry a payload of 6 kg. It uses BLDC actuators with harmonic reducers and absolute encoders. TALOS operates on Ubuntu LTS with Real Time and uses ROS middleware.

Specs
59 of 195 measures disclosure, not the robot: it counts the specs the maker and the directories we read had published when this page was last checked, so a robot with fewer published specs is not a worse robot. Makers also measure differently — height with or without the head, payload rated or peak — so two sources can both be right and still disagree, which is why every value carries a chip naming who stated it.

No value below has been independently measured or filed with a regulator — every number is a claim by the maker or by a third-party directory, and the chip on each one says which.

- LiDAR: No2026-09-29
[statement 6abbd71fcbbe9196bc9ca3e7] the quote says the LiDAR is OPTIONAL or externally integrable ("LiDAR: Optional", "supports seamless integration of external sensors such as LiDAR", "supports interchangeable grippers, LiDAR"), so the robot as sold does not have one — review-flagged on the pal-talos dry run, then judged by hand against its own registry row. Quote: "LiDAR No"
- Price from (USD): $900,0002026-09-29
[statement 6abbd71f80920bdbc4862952] "Indicative price" is a hedge, which that row's NOT text excludes — the class closed in two earlier cleanups — review-flagged on the pal-talos dry run, then judged by hand against its own registry row. Quote: "Indicative price 900000.0 USD"
- Designed in: Spain2026-09-29
[statement 6abbd71f545a5fccadee5bec] a SHIPPING destination states where the robot is sold, not where its maker is — that is availabilityRegions — review-flagged on the pal-talos dry run, then judged by hand against its own registry row. Quote: "Shipping🇪🇸 Spain"
- Payload per arm: 6 kg2026-09-29
[statement 6abbd71f44aa451340163185] a plain "Payload" cell states no per-arm figure, which this key requires — review-flagged on the pal-talos dry run, then judged by hand against its own registry row. Quote: "Payload 6kg"

[statement 6abbd71fa88f9904b506faf8] the quote's figure is STANDBY time ("1.5 hours of walking autonomy or 3 hours standby"), which that row's NOT text excludes; the 1.5 h walking figure is stored separately — review-flagged on the pal-talos dry run, then judged by hand against its own registry row. Quote: "1.5 hours of walking or 3 hours of standby."

- Sensors: RGB camera, Stereo camera2026-09-29
[statement 6abbd71fd3688d9a7a3657ba] the quote calls the sensor OPTIONAL ("LiDAR: Optional", "optional lidar") or configurable to order ("the head ... can accommodate RGB, depth or stereo cameras per customer requirements"), so it is not a sensor of the robot as sold — review-flagged on the pal-talos dry run, then judged by hand against its own registry row. Quote: "The head is configurable and can accommodate RGB, depth or stereo cameras per customer requirements."
