PAL Robotics does not publicly disclose pricing. Based on industry estimates, a new TALOS costs between $500,000 and $1,000,000, typically sold through private quotation to research institutions.
TALOS is designed for whole-body control research, walking, and manipulation of industrial tools. It can walk at up to 3 km/h, carry a 6 kg payload per arm at full extension, and perform tasks like tightening screws or using a power drill.
Yes, TALOS is currently available through PAL Robotics for research institutions and industrial partners. There is no direct online store; interested parties must contact PAL Robotics for a quotation.
The Unitree H1 is significantly cheaper (~$90,000) but uses position-controlled actuators, limiting its use for advanced torque-based control research. TALOS offers true torque sensing in all joints and higher payload capability, making it better suited for industrial manipulation studies.
32 degrees of freedom, 95 kg weight, 1.75 m height, 2-hour battery life, 6 kg arm payload, and 3 km/h maximum walking speed.
PAL Robotics, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, develops and manufactures the TALOS humanoid robot.
The TALOS has a lithium-ion battery providing approximately 2 hours of operation under normal walking and manipulation tasks. The battery is not swappable during operation.
TALOS is primarily used in academic robotics research, with growing interest in industrial manufacturing and construction for testing humanoid assistance in tasks like tool handling and assembly.
Extremely rarely; almost all TALOS units are owned by research labs with no secondary market. If a used unit appears, expect a price near 70–80% of the original cost, and thorough inspection is critical.
TALOS includes torque sensors in all joints, an IMU, stereo cameras, a depth sensor, and LIDAR for navigation and perception.
