REEM‑C is sold directly by PAL Robotics on a quote basis; typical pricing for research institutions is €300,000–€400,000 depending on configuration, software, and support. Used units occasionally appear in academic markets but have no standard price.
It is designed for bipedal locomotion research, whole‑body control, manipulation (up to 10 kg per arm), navigation, and human‑robot interaction. It can walk at 2.88 km/h, perform push recovery, and run custom ROS algorithms.
Yes, it is available exclusively to universities and research labs via direct purchase from PAL Robotics. Contact them for a quote and lead time (typically several months). No retail or online sales.
TALOS is the successor with more powerful actuators, faster walking (1.5 m/s vs REEM‑C’s 0.8 m/s), and better outdoor durability, but at a higher price. REEM‑C remains a well‑supported, more affordable entry point for indoor research.
165 cm tall, 80 kg, 44 DOF, 6‑hour battery, 10 kg payload per arm, 2.88 km/h top speed, stereo cameras, IMU, ankle/wrist force/torque sensors.
PAL Robotics, based in Barcelona, Spain, founded in 2004. They specialize in humanoid and service robots, with the REEM lineage going back to 2006.
The lithium‑ion battery provides approximately 6 hours of continuous indoor operation. Charging time is not publicly specified, and the battery is not hot‑swappable in the field.
Primarily academic and government research labs in robotics, computer science, and cognitive science. It is also used in some advanced undergraduate and graduate education programs.
REEM‑C is optimized for indoor environments with flat floors. While it can walk on smooth outdoor surfaces, its battery life and joint thermal limits make it unsuitable for prolonged outdoor use.
Yes, PAL Robotics has offered rental options for labs with limited budgets, typically for one‑ to two‑year periods. Contact them directly for current terms.
